Muskoka, Canada, which has been dubbed the land of a thousand lakes, may be the perfect destination for adventure travel this summer. As it is home to more than 1,600 glittering bodies of water, incredible pounding waterfalls, and miles of rivers and streams, it may be the ideal place to try the newly popular sport of paddle-boarding.
Paddle-boarding , which consists of using a long oar to maneuver through the water while standing on a surf board-like apparatus, can be both exciting and relaxing, depending on the body of water chosen for the activity. In Muskoka, there are many options, ranging from rapids to calm ponds.
Whether engaging in the activity on a fast-moving river or a serene lake, participants will be rewarded with beautiful views of pine and maple forests, which are lush with greenery in the summer, and tinged with orange and red in the autumn. Sheer granite cliffs also abound in Muskoka, and are as numerous as the quaint, old-fashioned cottages that dot the shoreline.
The best way to experience the adventurous sport of paddle-boarding in the peaceful locale of Muskoka is with a small group of adventure travelers.
