Lake Joseph is located in both the Township of Muskoka Lakes and in Seguin Township. The Lake Joseph lifestyle attracts buyers to this world-class Canadian destination from across Southern Ontario, the United States, and around the globe. Historically, Lake Joseph, Muskoka, has always been a haven for cottagers, business executives, and celebrities. Lake Joseph has a surface area of 51.7 square km and is the smallest of the Big Three Muskoka Lakes.
