Muskoka Lakes Association

The Muskoka Lakes Association (MLA) is Canada’s oldest lake association and has been active in the region since 1894. The MLA is a membership-based organization advocating for responsible stewardship and enjoyment of the unique environment of the Muskoka Lakes, representing over 11,500 individuals and over 2,000 families. MLA activities range from water quality testing to advocating for responsible government and land use policies to promoting education including hosting community events and webinars. Our Community events run from May to August.  We start the spring off with family seedling day, members order seedling to plant and pick them up May 24.  We host two member Regattas, one for boating & swimming, and the other for sailing.  Alternating years, we also host the Antique Boat Show in Port Carling, a free community event with a fascinating display of wooden boats of days gone by. The MLA is a true leader in the Muskoka community and our work helps sustain the unique culture and environment in Muskoka for current and future generations.
