Georgian Bay Islands National Park

Part of the world’s largest freshwater archipelago, but the country’s smallest national park at 14 square kilometres, Georgian Bay Islands is a postcard of Canadiana and artistic inspiration for the Group of Seven. Think deep blue waters, rocky outcrops and lone pine trees bent awkwardly by the wind — you can almost hear the loon’s call. The park’s craggy landscape offers habitat for a range of unique species, including the threatened massasauga rattlesnake.
