Byng Inlet, Natural inlet in Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada.
The inlet stretches along the northern shore of Georgian Bay, forming a wide channel where the Magnetawan River meets Lake Huron waters.
The inlet gained prominence in 1869 when it became the site of one of Canada's largest sawmill operations, employing 1,250 workers by 1912.
The inlet bears the name of Royal Navy Admiral John Byng, chosen during Henry Wolsey Bayfield's surveys of Georgian Bay in the early 1800s.
The waterway provides access to Georgian Bay through County Road 645, connecting visitors to nearby communities of Britt and Pointe au Baril.
The Byng Inlet Range Lights, constructed in 1899, continue their function as navigational aids, featuring an original lighthouse and a skeletal tower.
