Where Was ‘Sterling Point’ Filmed? The Hit Series Showcases Canadian Summer at Its Most Picturesque

On Location peels back the curtain on some of your favorite films, television shows, and more. This time, we ask: where was Sterling Point filmed? Young adult dramas appear to have millions of us hooked right now. First came the sauciness of Heated Rivalry, a series centred on queer love that has catapulted a new generation of actors into the limelight. Off Campus followed, based on Elle Kennedy’s best-selling novel The Deal, before Disney announced The Shards, following a group of teens against the backdrop of 1980s Los Angeles.

Ready for more? Thankfully for those of us who are, there’s a new teen drama everyone’s talking about—and it showcases some pretty picturesque locations. After a New York City childhood spent with their loving adoptive father, Annie (Ella Rubin) and her brother Connor (Keen Ruffalo) find themselves in possession of Sterling Point, a remote island in Ontario’s Muskoka region.

Aware of their late mother’s love for the area, but full of questions about the unlikely situation they’ve found themselves in following the passing of a grandfather they never knew existed, Annie travels north from her hometown to experience a Canadian summer and seek answers. What follows, as you’d expect, is a series of twists and turns as Annie uncovers a close-knit lakeside community and makes unexpected discoveries as new friendships are forged.

While some series swap the supposed location for another due to production logistics and costs, Sterling Point stays true to the plot. Filming took place in the Lake Muskoka area between June and October. On filming, creator, director, and co-showrunner Megan Park says, “We had the opportunity in this show to really showcase Muskoka for Muskoka, and what’s actually happening in that area.” Sterling Point’s production notes explain how this history includes the dispossession of Indigenous land, longtime cottage owners with generational ties to the region, and newer arrivals buying larger properties and building multimillion-dollar homes.

“With this show, from the beginning, it was always very specifically about Muskoka”, says executive producer Dani Gorin. “You have the juxtaposition with New York, where Annie comes from, and this wild, beautiful natural world, and those two environments were always meant to live in stark contrast. Megan spends time there, and she was also interested in exploring the class divide and the way the region is being gentrified.

“It was about photographing the place honestly—working with our director of photography, Kristen Correll, who collaborated with Megan on both of her features and knew how to shoot on the water. That takes patience and proficiency, but it allowed us to capture what it actually feels like to be there.”
Centred on a Canadian summer, the great outdoors steals the show throughout the series.

There are some notable locations that residents

However, there are some notable locations that residents and visitors may spot popping up across the eight episodes
Mortimer’s Marina, Lake Muskoka
Locals with a keen eye may spot this tranquil spot in the series. Mortimer’s Marina offers boat services, winter storage and an on-site café serving smoothies, coffees and ice creams throughout the summer. Sparrow Lake Camp, Lake Muskoka
This site has operated as a summer camp since 1912 and remains a popular spot for holidaying children to this day.

However, the site’s history dates back well before this, with Indigenous Canadians settling there centuries ago before the Massey family used the area as a holiday resort. Sterling Point is available to watch on Prime Video now.
