Okay guys help me out. Saturday is our wedding anniversary. I want to go boating. Anywhere anybody can think of within a couple hour drive to boat Saturday/stay over night. Muskoka/Lake of bays/Kawartha's etc. Has to be a decent place with somewhat ease in launching boat/parking etc. Not all that concerned about cost. Next year is 25 years so I doubt boating is going to be an option, unless it's a Cruise Liner lol.
Thanks guys help a brother out! ;)

My first thought is Parry Sound, go out to Frying Pan Island and stay out there for the night. Can eat at Henry's fish restaurant, and check out all the islands close by during the day. At night you can go out to the other side of the island and watch the sunset off the open water of Georgian Bay.

Cleavelands House on Rousseau is a good spot. Not cheap, but reliable.

The little cottages are kinda cute - pretty sure you can get a slip for the boat as well.

Lots of fun boating (I think you were there with the Checkmate Gang a while back)

LMFAO!!
If following the above itinerary may I suggest you pack a few pounds of salty bacon & a large tub of vitamin E cream.......for the snake, otherwise he may be shedding his skin by the end of the weekend.
You may also want to change your screen name to "Allcock"!
:mrgreen:
