Why choose a trail at Muskoka High Point, Ontario?
Take Highway 60 East from Huntsville for 12.5 kilometers and turn left onto Limberlost Road. Instead, you can take Tally Ho Winter Park Road if you miss the intersection as I did to get to Limberlost. Follow Limberlost Road to the northeast for 18.6 km and turn left onto Tasso Lake Road. Just past the dam, you'll get to the ATV Trail, which goes north. Tasso Lake Road, just west of the ATV Trail, is a good place to park non-ATV vehicles. The ATV trail is easy to follow, but it would be too rough for cars to follow. As I was exploring the trails in the area, I decided to ride a bike from Tasso Lake Road to the start of the bushwhack. 1.5 km from Tasso Lake Road, take the main ATV trail and turn left onto a more overgrown ATV trail. Approximately 1.1 km from the left turn, the ATV trail passes through an open area, which I thought was the closest approach to the Muskoka High Point. I didn't find a way to ease the ascent, so I climbed it straight up. After the rocky cliffs scramble over the fallen trees and the top of the bluff, the trail flattens. I stopped at the edge of the cliff and enjoyed a limited view south through the trees. From here, the bushwhack continues for 0.5 km, rising moderately through the thin undergrowth north to the summit area. Peering between the trees from the top of the steep hill. The Ontario County High Points List was developed by Greg Slayden of Peakbagger.com. Ontario is administratively divided into 51 units, consisting of counties, unified counties, regional municipalities, districts, cities and municipalities. Elevation measurements were taken from the 1:20,000-scale Ontario Base Maps series produced by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. All spot elevations in OBM data were downloaded, matched to their county by a point-in-polygon operation, and the highest spot elevations were selected. When multiple spot elevations of the same height were encountered at the same general location, a representative point was selected. Also, some OBM spot elevations were clearly incorrect outsiders and had to be discarded. In general, a 1-metre difference in spot elevations was considered to be significant and these lower points were not considered to be high-point candidates. High Point, as it is said, is situated on a massive granite rock, giving it a sweeping view of its surroundings. Of course, there are plenty of decks to sit on if the lake isn't warm enough to swim in. Even without these additional accommodations, the main house should be able to accommodate any number of guests considering it's 8,000 square feet with seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

He decided not to close the property and sold more than $12 million to another buyer last year. Part of what drives up prices is foreign interest.
