Parry Sound District

A resort destination on the eastern shore of Georgian Bay, where pink granite and the Thirty Thousand Islands are perfect for cruises, kayaking, and camping.

Parry Sound District is located in central Ontario, bordered by Georgian Bay to the west. The Thirty Thousand Islands region is recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Killbear, The Massasauga, and French River Provincial Parks are ideal for camping, boating, and hiking. The Island Queen Cruise and sightseeing seaplanes offer panoramic views of the archipelago. The town of Parry Sound features a waterfront trail, the Tower Hill Lookout, and the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame at the Stockey Centre, celebrating the legendary hockey player. Summer and early autumn are the best times to visit, while winter is geared toward snow sports. It is about a two-and-a-half-hour drive north from Toronto along Highway 400.
