More about this DVD

The story of Muskoka is one strongly tied to the environment. For centuries, the granite that lies beneath its surface has shaped life on the edge of the Canadian shield. From the Anishinabek - who traditionally plied the waterways throughout the district according to the cycles of the seasons, to the European settlers - who struggled to farm amidst the boulders, to the first tourists - who dared to venture into the sparsely settled wilderness. This is the story of those seeking opportunity just beyond the familiar, on the edge of the unknown North.

This two-hour documentary film explores the intriguing history of the Muskoka district and its people through interviews with historians, archival films, photographs, and re-enactments of historical events.
