WAHTA MOHAWK TERRITORY, ONTARIO

'Wahta Mohawk Territory' is an Indian reserve near Bala, Ontario on the Musquash River in south-central Ontario, Canada in the District Municipality of Muskoka.
Due to a land claim dispute with the Province of Ontario, the Wahta Territory is the site of an eight-kilometre gap in Highway 400, where the roadway remains a two-lane highway. An agreement was reached with the government of Ontario in 2003, allowing freeway construction through the reserve lands. Construction began in 2004, and is expected to be complete in late 2007.

Iroquois Cranberry Growers


The territory is home to the Iroquois Cranberry Growers who produce a significant harvest every year and provide access to the public during the harvest. As there is no other road access to the operation, an interchange is being constructed off Highway 400.
