Natural Jewel of 30000 Islands Parry Sound

The eastern coast of Georgian Bay where Parry Sound is located is known as the “30,000 Islands”. It is considered the world’s largest freshwater archipelago. UNESCO designated the area in 2004 as the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve.

Our 30,000 Island archipelago is known for its wilderness feeling, natural wonder, and rich cultural history.

It’s one of only 13 UNESCO sites in Canada.

Experience it for yourself by cruising from Parry Sound Marina (Bay Street).
