Even though the park is beautiful for hiking and sight seeing, my favourite spot remains the Observation Tower, high above the forest, rewarding those who climb all the way to its top with an incredible view of the point where Huron Lake meets Georgian Bay, way on the far horizon.

Fathom Five National Marine Park

Reviewed By ffevans128 - Parry Sound, Canada

The Fathom Five Marine Park has amazing shipwrecks to visit. The move visited sweepsteaks is always a fun dive, especially with the City of Grand Rapids wreck a short distance off the bow. The visitors center has a small museum attached to it with some history of the marine park and I had the pleasure of walking through it last year. Unfortunately due to Covid it wasn't open this year. Highly recommend checking the welcome center our and supporting this treasure of a dive park

Massasauga Provincial Park

Reviewed By Pike53 - Mississauga, Canada

Our site offered very scenic views and in general it was quiet—however, from time to time we were disturbed by noisy boats and especially very raucous jet skis, which is one of the very few drawbacks, especially if you’re camping on Blackstone Harbour near the channel. The weather was excellent, yet there were still active black flies and mosquitoes. Blackstone Harbour wasn’t a good place to fish—we saw plenty of fishing boats around our campsite, fishermen were trolling or casting—and hardly ever catching anything big enough to keep. Rocks, and especially wet moss, can be very slippery—even if you’ve got good boots/shoes, you may still fall. The campsite was clean, picturesque and very spacious. I was very glad that there was a food storage bin on the campsite. Be careful when you close it, you might hurt your fingers as the lid is very heavy. Overall it’s a great park.

Georgian Bay Islands National Park of Canada

Reviewed By 688jacquim

An incredible day! We've been to Beausoleil Island before so knew what to expect (one of my favourite places in the world). This year, it was particularly difficult to find a way there with the Parks Canada DayTripper and the Honey Harbour Marina taxi services shut down due to Covid-19. After searching on Google and many calls to local marinas, we were ready to give up when we stumbled across Scott Blake at C-Tow Marine Assistance! (1-705-529-4973) Scott picked us up promptly -- right from our dock, and shuttled our family (including our dog) to and from the island. Sharing this info to hopefully help others this year!

Grundy Lake Provincial Park

Reviewed By samanthac44 - Montreal, Canada

My boyfriend and I camped here for 2 nights as Killarney Provincial Park was completely booked, but we ended up loving the park. Clean beaches and amenities (comfort stations/vault toilets are open) and nice hiking trails. Looking forward to coming back!
