Go Home Lake History
Located in the heart of west central Ontario within the Township of Georgian Bay, District of Muskoka, Go Home Lake boasts a rich history dating back to the 1950s when two dams were erected, giving birth to this picturesque waterbody. Its name pays homage to its proximity to Go Home Bay, situated just downstream. In the days of old, loggers would navigate timber down the Musquash River to rendezvous with steamers at Go Home Bay. These vessels would then ferry the timber to various mills scattered around the Great Lakes before returning whence they came, thus lending the lake its evocative name. Over time, Go Home Lake has transformed into a thriving community, hosting around 450 cottages, most accessible only by boat.
