Welcome to the Heart of Georgian Bay in Simcoe County!<\/h3>\r\n

The Heart of Georgian Bay proudly encompasses the communities of Midland, Penetanguishene, Tay, Tiny, and Beausoleil Island First Nations. Here, you will find National and Provincial Parks, cherished historical sites, deep-rooted Indigenous and Francophone culture, protected wildlife areas, waterfront recreational trails, and so much more. Beaches here rival the most exotic white sand and crystal clear water you\u2019ll find anywhere in the world. Freshwater boating, whether under power, sail or paddle, is unparalleled, and the fishing is rich too.<\/p>\n

But if you think summer is where all the fun is, wait until you see how we celebrate winter! The Georgian Bay Snowbelt allows for an endless network of snowmobile trails, peaceful snowshoe adventures and perfect photo opportunities. Come experience the Georgian Bay life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
