Premiering Sunday, April 20 at 9 p.m. ET on TVO,\u00a0TVO.org<\/a>,\u00a0YouTube<\/a>\u00a0and TVO channels on smart TV services such as\u00a0Apple TV<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Roku<\/a>, TVO Original\u00a0TRIPPING The Muskoka Lakes\u00a0<\/em>continues the hugely popular TRIPPING series with a remarkable boat ride exploring Ontario\u2019s best known cottage lakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three-hour documentary gives viewers the opportunity to experience Ontario\u2019s most famous cottage lakes without having to leave home. Aboard a locally built mahogany runabout, viewers accompany two Muskoka locals as they visit the well-known and the hidden wonders that make the Muskoka Lakes so intriguing. Along the way we see \u201cMillionaires\u2019 Row\u201d, historic resorts, stately steamships, an eerie shipwreck, \u201cBillionaires Row\u201d and a quaint church only accessible by boat. Even for those familiar with Muskoka, the documentary uncovers some of the history and lore that makes this area so unique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the immersive adventures of TRIPPING The Niagara<\/a><\/em>,TRIPPING The Rideau Canal<\/a>, TRIPPING The Bruce, TRIPPING Train 185 and TRIPPING The French River <\/em>this documentary begins in Gravenhurst, the Gateway to Muskoka. The program captures some of the curious history of the district including an early tuberculous treatment center, unique boathouses and a tiny but very active bird sanctuary. As the journey heads north, the majestic steamship Wenonah II comes along our starboard side. We follow her through Lighthouse Narrows, before turning toward the elegant cottages that make up \u201cMillionaires Row\u201d. Then, suddenly a storm rises on the horizon. In an instant, we are cast back to 1934 and we are witnessing the fatal storm that struck the steamship Waome and caused her to sink. As she drops below the water\u2019s surface, we follow her to see her haunting remains on the lakebed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further along the lakes, we go through the charming self-serve lock system at Port Carling. In Lake Rosseau we see a tiny coal burning steamship that is taking a slow tour of the lake. Up the lake, we learn the tale of two resorts. A glorious new four-season resort side by side with an abandoned century-old resort that was once a shining example of glorious summer retreats but now awaits redevelopment. On Lake Joseph there is \u201cBillionaires Row\u201d contrasting against the primitive granite of the Canadian Shield. The journey ends at Sherwood Inn, a historic resort that harks back to another era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animated sequences bring to life some unique periods of time along the route. In addition to the sinking of the Waome viewers are taken back in time to see the grand dame of Muskoka resorts, the Royal Muskoka Hotel, that was destroyed by fire in 1952.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
