Not sure how you would like to spend your time?
Here are some of our favourites!
Hike The Trails
Find the picturesque “York River Bend”! Hundreds of acres of private land with trails are available for our guests. Is the snow deep? Take the snowshoes!
Paddle Down The River
Take the canoe or kayaks down the winding river! You’ll see different wildlife depending on the seasons. Please make sure you are comfortable paddling the 3 person canoe beforehand. It’s quite heavy and may be hard to navigate upstream.
Make A Fire
There’s something deeply calming about sitting around a warm fire. Under the stars or under a roof (using the wood stove), watching the dancing flames can be a form of meditation.
Do A Polar Dip
Take a dip into the York River and feel your body come alive!
ATTRACTIONS IN BANCROFT
The High Falls Dam
10 minute drive with scenic stops, culminating in a powerful waterfall from the dam at South Baptiste Lake.
Millennium Park
Open area park with some seating and a bridge, making it a nice stop for a meal and an easy walk.
Eagle’s Nest Lookout*
Each of the trails in Eagles Nest Park is unique, offering a variety of different ecosystems, plants, and wildlife. The Hawkwatch, a favourite destination within the park, provides an amazing vista over the York River valley and town of Bancroft below. It is an ever-changing landscape, and especially beautiful in the fall.

Check out Muskoka Mountainworks for their guided tours.

10 minute drive away from the cabin, the Bancroft Golf Course has been the premiere golf destination in this area since 1950.
