Reef Island Dock Restoration - Lake Joseph

Reef Island is a rare 5-acre private paradise on Lake Joseph, celebrated for its sculptural infinity shape, expansive shoreline, and architectural heritage. Its legacy as an exclusive Muskoka landmark demanded a restoration that respected its storied setting.

This dock, once failing and unsafe, including, a collapsed catwalk during a site visit; underwent a full surface restoration. Rotten boards and stairs were replaced, creating a safe surface that integrates seamlessly with the existing boathouse and natural shore, without disrupting the island’s historical narrative.

The restored dock now stands as a quiet testament to durability, heritage, and a reverent continuation of Reef Island’s architectural story.
