Happy summer everyone☀️This is going to be an especially exciting season at the Muskoka Wharf, stay tuned for news regarding the upcoming events. First order of business however... Let's talk Bay & Beyond.

Phase 3 has begun, meaning Bay Street is now closed from Greavette St. to Sarah St., including no through access at Hughson St., Wanda Miller Rd., Clairmont Rd.
As pictured below, Wharf businesses will be accessible from both the north and south parking lot entrances on Bay St., as well as full access to Cherokee Lane and the Steamships parking. James Street will be open for through access and will remain the designated truck route. Sidewalks will stay open, but temporary closures may happen during active construction. This phase will continue until mid to late summer, with phase 4 following and lasting through the fall.

11/01/2024

Last update on the Bay & Beyond construction project until Spring 2025: In the next couple of weeks Bay Street is set to reopen. Traffic may resume regular routes until April 2025, when they will finish any work left from this stage and move on to Stage 2 Phase 3. Updated road maps and detour directions will be available in the new year.
