November is here, and we think it’s such an underrated month. Sure, it’s a transition, and the weather can be unpredictable, but there are just so many unique things about being in Muskoka at this time of year. Some of these make us feel happy, some make us sad…and some pull on our heart strings in a nostalgic kind of way. Regardless and decidedly, we love Muskoka in every season.
It’s quiet
It’s dark
Leaves are floor décor
Cranberries on everything
Layers are a must (and mostly plaid)
Snow has already fallen
It’s still 20 °C some days
Hunting season is on
Ice is already in the rinks
It’s time to get the boat out of the water
Half the local shops are closed for the season
No more grocery store line-ups
No more restaurant line-ups
Christmas lights not yet welcome
Poppies are a must
You are the only one on the lakes
You are the only one on the trails
You might still be swimming
You might also be crazy
Everyone says, “It came fast”, anytime someone says it’s November
