Parry Sound, Administrative town in southeastern Ontario, Canada

The town extends along the eastern shore of Georgian Bay at the mouth of the Seguin River, forming a natural deepwater port for vessels.

Founded in 1857 near the Ojibwa village of Wasauksing, the settlement developed due to its strategic location for lumber transportation and railway connections.

Each summer, the Festival of the Sound brings classical musicians from across Canada to perform chamber music in the Charles W. Stockey Centre.

The town maintains direct connections through Highway 400, Ontario Northland bus service, and Via Rail trains, offering multiple transportation options for visitors.

The port of Parry Sound holds the record as the deepest natural freshwater harbor in the world, measuring 165 feet in depth.
