Located in the northeast
corner of the District of Muskoka, Lake of Bays offers a natural
landscape of forests, rocks, lakes and wetlands.
Because of its natural beauty, it is an important
cottaging, recreation and tourism destination in Ontario.
Three small communities of Baysville, Dorset and Dwight
as well as waterfront and rural areas provide various types of
settlement and commercial opportunities.
Currently, the economy of the Township is primarily based
on tourism, recreation, and the service sector with forestry and
aggregate extraction contributing as well.
The
Township of Lake of Bays with its permanent population of 3,000
and seasonal population of 18,000 encompasses approximately
66,000 hectares (163,083 acres) of land, containing
approximately 108 lakes.
The Township is situated 193 kilometres north of Toronto,
within the District Municipality of Muskoka.
The Township of Lake of Bays was established in 1971 from
the former Townships of Franklin, Ridout, McLean and Sinclair/Finlayson
(unorganized) as one of six area municipalities within the
District of Muskoka.
