Skeleton Lake in Muskoka is unique among Ontario lakes for its crystal clear waters and dramatic landscapes.  Formed by an ancient meteor strike and scoured by several ice ages, the lake has a rugged natural beauty that draws visitors back year after year.  

The Skeleton Lake Cottagers Organization is dedicated to the preservation and conservation of the natural beauty and abundant wildlife characteristic of the area.  

Help Fight the Proposed Quarry ...

The Skeleton Lake Cottagers Organization, together with the Township and District of Muskoka Lakes, are focused on fighting Miller Paving and the Lippa Family who want to forever change the landscape of our watershed. We are standing firm against gravel extraction by defending the Official Plan that protects all Muskoka Lakes. 

The SLCO has engaged a number of environmental subject-matter experts who will present on the harmful impacts of the proposed pit. These reports, together with our capable legal counsel, are the only way we can defeat the appeals and prevent quarry operations near our lake. 

The cost is significant!  We need the support of everyone!


Please donate now to help us raise the funds required to maintain our pristine lake for your enjoyment and for generations to come.


We acknowledge that the land on which we live and play is the traditional territory of the Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat and Odawa, who called this land home before we came.  The land was the centre of their lives and spirituality. We acknowledge their stewardship of this land throughout the ages.  We commit to respectful relationships with our indigenous neighbours and we accept our responsibility to walk without harm.
