What you can expect with the Portage Flyer train

  • It is a scenic trip along the Muskoka River onto Fairy Lake Station
  • The return trip is about 30 minutes
  • Although not all of that time is spent travelling, this experience is about more than the time on board
  • We hope that you will enjoy our Rail Museum and take the time to appreciate some of the technical aspects of the railway
  • At the "end of the line”, we feature our Fairy Lake Station (that was the original Purser's Cabin at Norway Point Lake of Bays) and we encourage children of all ages to come and sit in the cab, poke your head in the firebox and have a chat or ask questions of the engineer and fireman
  • Our Station Master and or Conductor will be happy to answer all of your questions
