Who needs Paris or Venice? I truly believe there’s no more romantic place on earth than the lake. It’s often a place where at least one person is sharing something important with the other – a childhood cabin, or fond memories of summers spent by the water. What’s more intimate than that?

So if you’re overdue for a date with someone special, we’ve got 21 songs for setting the mood. Settle in your Muskoka chairs, pour the red wine, and press play. This playlist is definitely worth a few brownie points.
