SS Bigwin Sails Lake of Bays Again

The SS Bigwin is sailing the waters of beautiful Lake of Bays, Ontario once again thanks to the hard work of some dedicated cottagers and residents of the area.

Originally acting as a ferry to transport vacationers and golfers to Bigwin Island Resort, the ship fell into disrepair and was left to rot. Decades later, she was raised from the bottom of the lake and has been diligently restored, and visitors to the region can once again experience the majesty of travel by this stunning Muskoka steamship.

Hourly cruises take place during July and August and depart from the docks at Dorset. Private cruises can also be booked.

It’s a fascinating experience of a glorious ship and a bygone era that’s sure to enchant travelers of all ages. For more information, click here.
