Gear Up for Adventure (or Just Grab a Coffee)
There are a few ways to conquer the journey from Toronto to Muskoka. Gearing up for adventure (translation: renting a car) gives you the most freedom to explore hidden coves and backroad breweries. But hey, if battling traffic isn't your idea of a good time, there are other options!
Lean Back and Relax: Let VIA Rail or Ontario Northland take the wheel. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Bonus points for spotting a cheeky Canadian goose or two.

For the Truly Dedicated: You could even bike it...but maybe only if you're training for the Tour de France (and have a serious love for hills).
Important Note: No matter your chosen chariot, be sure to check schedules and book in advance, especially during peak season. Traffic can get dicey, and you don't want to be stuck singing show tunes to a disinterested squirrel while waiting for the next bus.
Embrace the Open Road (or Train Tracks, or Bus Seat)
Alright, so you've got your wheels (or lack thereof). Now, let's get you there! The drive itself is pretty straightforward. Take your pick of highways, depending on your mood. Just remember, scenic routes take longer, but they might also lead you to that perfect roadside pie stand.
Tip: If you're feeling fancy, consider the tolled route (highway 407). It'll shave some time off your trip, but be prepared for a slight dent in your wallet.
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
For the Train or Bus Takers: Just settle in, enjoy the ride, and keep your eyes peeled for Muskoka's magical beauty.
