Beautiful Willows grace the shoreline with magical beauty and birds. It’s the best walk along the shoreline with Gordy Lightfoot’s statue as a reminder that you are in the home of Mariposa music festival! You’ll be sure to return for the Festival in July!

Scout Valley is a great place to lose yourself in the middle of Orillia. Well groomed paths take you through mature forests that satisfy all the senses.

Couchiching Beach Park

Reviewed By YYZgrrl - Toronto, Canada

The park is very tranquil on a weekday before the mad crush on weekends. This was our first (not the last ) visit to Couchiching Beach park. We had a bbq (bring your own bbq) and a swim at the lovely sand beach. Change rooms and washrooms are right beside beach. The 2 sinks in the middle were covered up with garbage bags for social distancing. Very clean washrooms. Lots of picnic tables, some are under the picnic shelters. Nice wooden boardwalk too. The snack bar and mini train weren't operating when we visited, maybe due to Covid. Parking lot is not very large. Get there early for a spot. Disabled parking available close to beach

Orillia Fairgrounds Farmers' Market

Reviewed By ChopperHackit - Toronto, Canada

It was late October and a cool day so we were quite surprised at the number of vendors available. There was a little bit of everything to browse thru and a lot of food stuff. Most vendors had samples available and it was a great way to experience some new tastes and then purchase what we liked. I much prefer to purchase items and fresh food at a market like this to support local small businesses versus shoping at big stores like WalMart.

Candy Shoppe

Reviewed By Vi0letr0se

The Candy Shoppe has 2 locations on Highway 11 just north of Orillia....one on the Northbound side and one on the Southbound side. (very close to the Webers Hamburger place). It's a fun place to stop with lots of different kids of candy. We especially love the dark chocolate covered cherries! We also appreciated the fact that all the gluten-free options were labeled.
