March in Muskoka carries the last of winter’s magic while hinting at the spring to come. The ski hills are still open, the trails are still bright with snow, and the region fills with the energy of March Break, live performances, and craft beer celebrations. It is a month of contrasts in the best possible way, where you can snowshoe in the morning and catch a show in the evening. For those living in Muskoka, March is proof that there is never a slow season here.
