Clifton Dyer was a Detroit lawyer who brought his wife to Huntsville for their honeymoon in 1916. For many years after that, they revisited the spot, staying in a cabin above the Big East River. They even visited in the winter making the trek to the cabin by horse and sled and spent their time skiing in the area. When Betsy died in 1956, her husband was determined that Betsy would never leave the place she loved so much, so he began the project to construct the memorial as the final resting place for her ashes. After Clifton passed away 3 years later his ashes were also interred within the monument and a trust was set up to manage and maintain the memorial and surrounding area. For decades it was well-kept until the trust money began to run out and the dedicated caretaker also died and nature and the forest began to reclaim the area. By 2010 the natural elements began to take over and the site was in danger of becoming overgrown and forgotten. Muskoka Conservancy stepped in and in the ten years under their protection the area has once again become a place of tranquility and serenity and a lovely spot to visit. In 2016, numerous trees were planted to create the Dyer Memorial Forest.

It's really the one and only locals bar and a very busy place most days during the peak tourist season. You can find us there Wednesday night for great Buffalo Wings and a drink from their well stocked bar. They have a very diverse menu and the staff are supper friendly. If you want mingle with the locals don't miss this one.

Dyer Memorial is an impressive monument built by Detroit Lawyer Clifton G. Dyer in memory of his wife Betsy Browne Dyer, and overlooking the Big East River near Williamsport road. This imposing site is located about 11 kilometres Northeast of Huntsville, via 118 North and Williamsport Road. The Dyers who loved the outdoors had spent their honeymoon in 1916 on a canoeing trip to Algonquin Park. On their twentieth anniversary in 1936 they returned to Muskoka and tented on the East River near the site of the present memorial. Later in 1940 they built a permanent cottage on the riverbank and visited the area each summer and after in the winter as well. Mrs. Dyer died in 1956 and her ashes were placed in the Copper urn at the top of the memorial.

Talk about setting the bar high, Mr. Dyer put it in the clouds when he constructed this huge monument to his wife, placing her ashes at the top and eventually adding his own. A loving memorial to timeless love. The grounds are well maintained, scenic, quiet and remote.
