WELCOME TO LAKE OF BAYS!

Our new community gateway signs provide a consistent branded design in the Township of Lake of Bays, unifying the four hamlets of Baysville, Dorset, Dwight and Hillside by creating a visual link as you travel around Lake of Bays.

As Dorset is located within the Township of Lake of Bays as well as the Township of Algonquin Highlands, both municipal logos are featured side-by-side at the top of the Dorset signs and the Lake of Bays tagline "100 lakes to explore" was not included.

Made possible by Ontario's Main Street Revitalization Initiative funding.
