After a long day on the lake or just looking for something to do in the evening, this is a great place to stop for young and old. Grab an ice cream cone and walk through the neighbourhood of Bella. We love to eat our ice cream on the rock overlooking the falls.
We also love the Coca-Cola theme!

Port Carling is the quintessential Muskoka town. It has all the local charm but also features some great favourite clothing stores. Take an afternoon and stroll around the park and historical area as well. Finish off at one of the local restaurants for a pint and a view of the lake. I definitely get the boat envy here!
