Please note that some parks, trails, and cemeteries remain closed at this time while assessments and clean-up efforts are underway by our team and contractors.
In addition, the Town of Gravenhurst implements reduced-load restrictions on most roadways during the annual spring thaw period. These restrictions will be lifted effective Monday, May 12, at 12:01 a.m.
Truck operators are reminded that seasonal load restrictions are in place to protect the integrity of the roads from damage caused by heavy vehicle traffic, which is crucial for maintaining road longevity.
Until the restrictions are lifted, truck operators passing through the Town of Gravenhurst are required by law to utilize only designated truck routes. This requirement also applies to designated District of Muskoka roads and Ministry of Transportation (MTO) highways.
