Construction 2024
During the 2024 season, there will be construction on Hwy 169 and Bay Street that runs adjacent to our parking lots for Muskoka Steamships and Muskoka Discovery Centre, however, both will still be accessible by vehicles. The project is set to begin June 5th.
There will be a detour that you will have to follow to get here depending on which direction you are coming from (please see map below). If you are joining us for a cruise, please allow at least 45 minutes additional travel time to get to our location, find parking, check-in/pick-up tickets, and board on time.
If possible, it is encouraged that guests park in one of the many public lots on Steamship Bay Road and then “Walk the Wharf” to Muskoka Discovery Centre and Muskoka Steamships.
The project is called ‘Bay & Beyond’ and involves new underground pipes, roadway improvements, enhancing pedestrian safety and creating more opportunities for active transportation.
