One interconnected watershed.
One shared responsibility.
Muskoka Watershed Council brings communities, lake associations, scientists, and decision-makers together to understand, protect, and steward Muskoka’s aquatic and terrestrial environment.
Good intentions are a starting point — not a strategy.
In our latest blog, Jared Jylhä explains why decisions about land, water, and infrastructure must consider the whole system.

One raindrop can travel 200 km through 13 municipalities from Algonquin to Georgian Bay. Water crosses borders; planning doesn’t. Integrated Watershed Management brings everyone together to plan watershed-wide: less flood risk, healthier lakes, smarter growth.
On this Remembrance Day, we pause to honour those who have served and remember the sacrifices made to protect our freedoms and the land we call home.
May we cherish their legacy by caring for the landscapes they fought to preserve.
