NATIONAL PARKS IN ONTARIO

Georgian Bay Islands National Park
Georgian Bay Islands National Historic Park is contains the barren glacier-scraped rock and windswept pines that inspired Canada's famous Group of Seven artists. Because this is an island park, it is only accessible by boat. Start your park experience with a boat trip from Honey Harbour water taxi locations or other surrounding shoreline communities to Beausoleil Island, where a Visitor Centre will introduce you to the unique qualities of island life on Georgian Bay.
The Islands are particularly renowned for the variety of reptiles and amphibians they support. Trail maps and recreational activities allow visitors to shape their own island adventure. Activities in the park include camping, hiking, boating, canoeing, swimming and cross-country skiing. Special outdoor learning experience programs are available for those wishing to learn more about the greater Georgian Bay ecosystem. A trip to Georgian Bay Islands National Park compliments tours of award-winning museums, historic sites, religious and wildlife attractions of Midland/Penetanguishine. These include the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre, Ste. Marie Among the Hurons, the Martyrs Shrine, Huronia Museum and Discovery Harbour.
Pukaskwa National Park
The exceptional beauty of Pukaskwa National Park is revealed in its vistas of Lake Superior. The Park projects the rugged ancient landscape of the Canadian Shield, its northern forests and the spirit of wildness. This area offers fantastic hiking, camping, canoeing and kayaking, boating, fishing, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing experiences.
Nearby attractions include the Hemlo Gold Field, the largest gold deposit in Canada, where public mine tours are available in the summer months. Ontario's official mineral emblem, amythest, is in rich supply along Lake Superior's north shore east of Thunder Bay. Several amethyst mines welcome visitors to search out their own treasures left behind during surface mining. Other welcome stops along this spectacular route include White Lake and Ouimet Canyon.
