The series was shot almost entirely in Ontario, Canada, largely in the real Lake Muskoka region where the story itself is set, with a few key detours to Toronto, Glen Williams, Severn, and Barrie.
Sterling Point Filming Locations
New York (Establishing Shots)

Traveler’s Note: The facility is a combined land airport and water aerodrome, with charter floatplane operations departing from the Toronto Inner Harbour.
Lake Muskoka Region
Context in the Drama: The core setting of the series, unlike many similar productions (the source notes Outer Banks and Virgin River as filmed elsewhere, and The Summer I Turned Pretty and My Life with the Walter Boys as set in fictional locations), Sterling Point was actually filmed where it’s set.

Traveler’s Note: A popular cottage-country destination and a hub for recreational boating and floatplane operations.
Port Carling (Central Maple Street Landmarks)

The upper section, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, was digitally added in post-production, based on the design of real houses located behind the property. The sauna with the round window seen by the lake is also a digitally generated image, recycled from a cabin shot that first appeared in episode one.
