Parry Sound District is part of Ontario’s Playground, remote and wild yet only 3 to 4 hours from Toronto. It lies between Muskoka to the south and Nipissing to the north and is crossed by two major north-south Highways: 11 and 69. Georgian Bay with its 30,000 Islands defines the western edge, and Algonquin Park lies just a few miles to the east.

While Parry Sound District was settled in the mid-19th century as a primarily logging area, it has since become more important for its recreational potential: cottaging, canoeing, fishing, camping, and hunting. Lying entirely within the Canadian Shield, its rugged landscape is unsuitable for agriculture, but as a haven for escape-seeking urbanites it is second to none. Every year thousands of tourists visit the area for its many lakes, forests and beautiful granite cliffs
