Parry Sound, Administrative town in southeastern Ontario, Canada
Parry Sound sits along the eastern shore of Georgian Bay where the Seguin River flows into the water, forming a natural deepwater port. The town spreads across this waterfront with bays and islands that shape its landscape.
The town was founded in 1857 when European settlers developed the area next to the Ojibwa village of Wasauksing. Growth accelerated due to its favorable location for lumber transport and the railway connections that followed.
Each summer, the Festival of the Sound brings classical musicians from across Canada to perform chamber music in the Charles W. Stockey Centre. These performances draw music lovers who gather in this modern concert hall.
The town is accessible via Highway 400 and served by multiple bus lines and train connections. The harbor and waterfront have various access points, so walking along the shore helps you find the best viewpoints.
The harbor at Parry Sound has a natural depth of about 50 meters, making it one of the deepest natural freshwater ports. This feature made it an ideal destination for vessels needing deeper water from the beginning.
