Several of my favourite National Parks are in Ontario in the Georgian Bay area of Ontario.

Georgian Bay Islands National Park
This past spring we attended the Georgian Bay Water Festival and found a world of wonder at Georgian Bay Islands National Park accessible by boat from Honey Harbour Ontario.  There are two possibilities one with Parks Canada on the Day Tripper or if you are staying at Delawana Inn Resort a picnic trip to Beausoleil Island is included in the holiday packages.

Planning a holiday along Georgian Bay can still be enjoyable without your own boat.  There are many family getaways and couples romantic getaways in the many towns and communities along the Bay
