r/Muskoka

This feels mildly vulnerable to post, but here we are :)

I’m turning 35(F), not originally from the area, and realizing I’d really love to make some genuine female friendships around Muskoka/Barrie/Orillia-ish. I'm in Muskoka, but visit surrounding areas often.

I'm pretty low-key and easygoing. I love hanging by the water with snacks, games, crafts or books, going for walks/hikes, window shopping, exploring cute little areas/towns, attempting pickleball badly, learning golf very slowly, or rotting on the couch binge-watching something with snacks and weed. Recently also started exploring taking classes in sewing, painting, etc. I can yap, but also love to listen. I'm told I'm funny and so much myself that's its easy for others to be themselves too.

To be clear, I’m genuinely just looking for platonic female friendships/gal pals. Not dating, not anything weird lol.

Bonus points if you’re also in your “I want bestie girlfriends but it's hard and scary” era, and consider a walk, coffee, and sitting by water a full itinerary.

If this sounds like your vibe, message me queen!!

We need to get our septic tank pumped - who do you love to do this?

I am wondering if something like a private beach club exists somewhere in Ontario within 1.5 hrs from Toronto. my kids love going to the beach but we’re finding the Public beaches are more and more ram jammed. If we could pay a membership fee to go to a private beach it may solve this problem.
