'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.
