Georgian Bay Islands National Park

Georgian Bay Islands National Park encompasses 63 islands across 13 square kilometers, featuring granite shores, dense forests, and clear waters of Lake Huron.

The Canadian government established this national park in 1929 to protect the natural environment of the eastern Georgian Bay region and its ecological resources.

Indigenous peoples of the Anishinaabe nation maintained seasonal camps on Beausoleil Island, leaving archaeological evidence of their presence through centuries.

Visitors can access the park through water taxis departing from Honey Harbour, with camping facilities available on both Beausoleil and Christian Islands.

The park contains the worlds largest freshwater archipelago, known as The Thirty Thousand Islands, representing a transition between southern and northern Ontario ecosystems.
