I use to go to Huntsville when I was a kid. All my relatives lived there so I would go visit. I have a few cousins left up there but just enjoyed your video so much. A lot of changes but filled my heart again with the good old days. Thanks for sharing.
I used to live in Huntsville, but left in '98 to come out west, and I haven't made it back. For all that's changed, it sure does look the same. Some things will always be there, ... town docks, the swing bridge, deer hurst resort, and I used to get most of my shirts at Reflections and Algonquin outfitters. I'm a little sad to see the Log Cabin trading post has been repurposed. When I lived there, I took the scenery and the fresh air for granted. I wish I had payed attention more. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
There’s more to Huntsville then just Main Street!! - coming from a local. - Hunter’s Bay Trail - Lion’s Lookout - Beer Lake - ALOT of parks - Hidden Valley (Ski hill) - Canada Summit Centre (Snoop Dog preformed there, so did Chris Hadfield). Has a swimming pool and two rinks. - Conroy Park (Turf field and tennis courts) - One high school - 5 Elementary schools - The Huntsville Place Mall - 3 Golf Courses - ALOT of resorts (including Deerhurst where the G8 was held) The list goes on.
Yeah I forgot about snoop dog preforming here 😂 pretty crazy bc this town is not that popular and I never would’ve thought somebody that popular would come here lol
HI Emma, thank you for your insight. Is there any chance I could dm you with a few questions? I am currently writing with your gorgeous town as its center piece.
Went here and Algonquin during my honeymoon , looks and sounds just the same! Was a lovely pace to visit and after lockdown, I’m coming back as you have reminded me of what I’ve been missing! Canada eh?!
@@lvfreeAdventures I don’t do camping! ( I have a bad back ) But I stayed at the Algonquin inn Last time and would be happy to do that again and then Huntsville! 😉
Very nice town to grow up.Unlucky me I almost starve to death during Mao's infamous aftermath of the Great Leap Forward in the late 1950's in Red China.
AWESOMENESS!!! thanks for the vid. Dude I so want to go there from watching this. Coming from a villager that was born and raised here LOL.. Top of the day to ya sir.
Way too many people. Was in Lindsay and Fenelon Falls yesterday - swamped with people - there's nowhere to go anymore to get away from them. Bracebridge and Gravenhurst are the same....
Nice video, thanks. I noticed the word "gelato" several times. Do Canadians like gelato style ice cream? I'm asking because I never understood why US Americans seemingly don't. American style ice cream (like Ben&Jerries or Hagen Dasz) to me seems like a objectively inferior product, compared to real gelato. Yet, gelato never became much of a thing in the USA, despite the large Italian origin community living there. Frankly, to me American style ice cream tastes like sugary frozen deep fryer lard. There is just no comparison to a nice gelato sundae.
You've got cool bridge in Bracebridge, especially in winter... was there last winter, here is our video: th-cam.com/video/No6vkqgseSc/w-d-xo.html We need to go back in summer and make a vid. Thanks for watching
Awesome! I dont think were going there yet because. 1) Im using my moms account so i havent asked my parents yet, 2) COVID-19 made me unable to go there, 3) Im not patient sometimes haha (btw god bless :) )
This is pretty cool if you didn't know this but my family from generations way back were all hunters, and George Hunt the founder of Huntsville as ties in with my family tree dating back to 1859 when him and my family first started settling into Huntsville with my family being ship sailers and boat operators built the first buildings in Huntsville also where Boston pizza is now, use to be the old Lumber Mill my family leased the land to the owners of the building. My family constructed some of the first set of houses people were living in making the Seaman name (my mothers side) the oldest generation family to build the economy of Huntsville, But most of what we did was destroyed due to un recorded events and lost documents from building fires and now lost documented certifications to the land we owned but sold. also my uncle and my cousin built all the docks in town while working with the company Ny Docks as well as the green bridge use to be a huge opening bridge for my family's boats to come to the lumber mill, towing logs through the streams with large sails. Now only small motor boats and speed boats drive under the bridge and sadly now the bridge no longer opens.
My family has been in huntsville since the 60's. Own lots of land. The last 10yrs have been insane for expansion. Prices soaring. Those with money continue to buy up land and cottage. Downtown is all high end cars now. People are not invested in the community all that much anymore. They just want to vacation and cottage for the week or weekend and head back south. Nothing wrong with that but garbage and litter have increased and the small town feel is very quickly fading into a city. Kind of sad its losing its charm a bit
Muskoka is one of those places that looks beautiful, but is a nightmare to live in. There's no public transportation, its hard to make friends, and the entire economy revolves around snobby millionaires that come north from Toronto for the summer.
I was thinking about moving near Huntsville, buying a few acres to set up a homestead and escape the craziness of southwestern ontario. The social distancing during the past 2 years, the LGBT stuff. But there it is in the first 30 seconds of the video. Guess I have to keep looking further north.
Yeah I’m sure it was the people of colour that put time and money into developing the town rather than the greedy, old and white racists that refused to invest anything into things like downtown shops, roads, the main plazas that ruined the town.
bellissimo paese , tranquillo senza caos , Lo adoro. Dovrò venire a visitarlo prima o poi. UN saluto dall'Italia Ciaoooooooooooooo
Thanks for this long overdue documentation of Huntsville. I’m surprised no one else has bothered to do such a thorough capture of the town. God bless.
Our pleasure and Thank you for watching
15 years spent here - all good memories to draw upon.
I use to go to Huntsville when I was a kid. All my relatives lived there so I would go visit. I have a few cousins left up there but just enjoyed your video so much. A lot of changes but filled my heart again with the good old days. Thanks for sharing.

Camping in Algonquin and then dining in Huntsville is a perfect weekend 😊
@@lvfreeAdventures I don’t do camping! ( I have a bad back ) But I stayed at the Algonquin inn Last time and would be happy to do that again and then Huntsville! 😉
Born and raised here and this is nice but the real beauty is outside of town....some places never to be divulged. but many beautiful places.....
Very nice town to grow up.Unlucky me I almost starve to death during Mao's infamous aftermath of the Great Leap Forward in the late 1950's in Red China.

Thank you for your awesome comments!
Always liked Huntsville and was considering moving there except every-time we now go it's busier and busier.
Way too many people. Was in Lindsay and Fenelon Falls yesterday - swamped with people - there's nowhere to go anymore to get away from them. Bracebridge and Gravenhurst are the same....
Don’t bother. Find somewhere with nicer people and less hassles.
It is so amazing
this must have been taped during the pandemic because Huntsville is a busy prosperous town.
Nice vid, will have to visit one day
I can I just lake a walk there bc I live right in town
Amazing place
Thanks for visiting
My cottage is here it’s been here since 1957
lucky

Yea, we love gelato - best desert on hot summer afternoon!
It's nice there, I live in Bracebridge Ontario next town over, it's wonderful country up here.

Wow, this is so awesome. I love history. Do you still live in Huntsville?
First👍♥️

Lots of famous ppl too getting places there
Muskoka is one of those places that looks beautiful, but is a nightmare to live in. There's no public transportation, its hard to make friends, and the entire economy revolves around snobby millionaires that come north from Toronto for the summer.
Huntsville is nice, but Port Carling is nicer.
Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna have a cottage you there also
I was thinking about moving near Huntsville, buying a few acres to set up a homestead and escape the craziness of southwestern ontario. The social distancing during the past 2 years, the LGBT stuff. But there it is in the first 30 seconds of the video. Guess I have to keep looking further north.
I' am related to captain hunt who founded this town I'm sure he would be sick to see it nowadays may as well call it coonville
Yeah I’m sure it was the people of colour that put time and money into developing the town rather than the greedy, old and white racists that refused to invest anything into things like downtown shops, roads, the main plazas that ruined the town.
