EconomyTimber was initially the greatest economic attraction for the region. The soil is poor and rocky and consequently is not especially suited to agriculture. As the resource industries dried up, the area soon embraced tourism as its economic base because of its proximity to Toronto and the rest of Southern Ontario. For many Ontarians, this is the centre of cottage country. The Muskoka Lakes Township Public Libraries offer research, literature, and cultural resources to local residents.
