In Muskoka, the Mortimer name dates back to the mid 1800s, when Englishman William Mortimer was granted a piece of land by Queen Victoria. Six generations later, the name is etched into the cultural and physical landscape of the region, the property now known to locals and cottagers as Mortimer’s Marina. Positioned between Bala and Port Carling on Lake Muskoka, the marina has served Muskoka’s tourism industry for over a century, building ships and boats, servicing them and running as a post office.

Today, Mortimer’s Marina continues to support Muskoka’s lake and cottage culture, providing boat parking and storage, boat services and so much more. Come by the Marina this summer for a fuel fill up, a scoop of Kawartha Dairy ice cream, and a slice of Muskoka’s history.
