Muskoka Ontario Resort Vacations & Cottage Rentals In The Muskoka Ontario Resorts Area - Severn Lodge
Description
The Severn Lodge location dates back to the mid 1800’s when our Main Lodge building served as one of the headquarters for the Georgian Bay Lumber Company. The coastal waters along the shores of Georgian Bay and the many inland lakes and rivers, served as major transportation routes for the logs to reach the mills where they were then cut into lumber and shipped to nearby markets in southern Ontario and Northern United States.
When the logging era concluded in the 1870’s the Mordolphton Club from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania purchased the property. Being situated in the midst of Ontario’s beautiful Muskoka – Georgian Bay lakelands, the Mordolphton Club was attracted to the spectacular geography of the area. Its’ giant outcroppings of granite and quartz rock, the pine woods, the clear waters, and of course, the fine fishing were the prime attractions.
The Mordolphtons traveled by private Pullman coach from Pittsburgh to the Canadian National Railway station in Waubaushene. There, baggage was transferred to a steamship that then took them across Georgian Bay to Port Severn. Here, they would portage over what was then a waterfalls and rapids to the Mordolphton launch that would complete their journey. The trip from the Waubaushene train station to Severn Lodge took nearly a 1/2 day. Today, Waubaushene is only 10 minutes via highway.
