Our kids look forward to stopping into this amazing & magical book store in Parry Sound. Since they were small we’ve been making the trip on the way to our camp site at Killbear. Absolutely worth the trip!
2. Jessica Vergeer Studios
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 37 reviews
Jessica Vergeer Studios is a studio, gallery and dress shop run by Parry Sound artist and fashion designer Jessica Vergeer. Her downtown Parry Sound location at 18 James Street showcases both her own paintings as well as selected work by other local artists and designers. When she's not busy making her own work, Jessica runs scheduled step-by-step painting classes at her studio. Jessica's dress shop features not only on her own fashion designs - which include hand-made dresses, skirts and tops - but also a selection of clothing, jewelry and accessories from other Canadian designers and fair trade sources. If you're a little more "hands-on" in your approach to art, be sure to ask about the public and private group painting classes that Jessica leads year round.

I love skiing and hiking at GNOAC. It is also an excellent exercise/recreation area for snowshoeing, fat biking and mountain biking and I hope to try the latter three in the future. Chancing upon peaceful little lakes, picturesque swamps, wildlife and flora along the varied trails are my favourite experiences. I have taken way too many photos and selfies from there!
4. Killbear Provincial Park

Reviewed By Andy206B - Collingwood, Canada
One of the downsides of sailing around Georgian Bay is that it is sometimes difficult to find shore activities both for pleasure and also for exercise. Killbear provides both. There are several 'hikes' or 'walks', given they are not strenuous. One day we even managed to walk for some 12k kms. The Visitor centre is very informative and well designed. The anchorage itself has great holding and protection from most wind directions though it can get a little noisy with campers' dogs barking, PWC traffic etc.
5. Massasauga Provincial Park

Reviewed By Pike53 - Mississauga, Canada
Our site offered very scenic views and in general it was quiet—however, from time to time we were disturbed by noisy boats and especially very raucous jet skis, which is one of the very few drawbacks, especially if you’re camping on Blackstone Harbour near the channel. The weather was excellent, yet there were still active black flies and mosquitoes. Blackstone Harbour wasn’t a good place to fish—we saw plenty of fishing boats around our campsite, fishermen were trolling or casting—and hardly ever catching anything big enough to keep. Rocks, and especially wet moss, can be very slippery—even if you’ve got good boots/shoes, you may still fall. The campsite was clean, picturesque and very spacious. I was very glad that there was a food storage bin on the campsite. Be careful when you close it, you might hurt your fingers as the lid is very heavy. Overall it’s a great park.

Enjoy a captain's-eye view of Georgian Bay's 30,000 Islands Biosphere Reserve aboard the 550-passenger Island Queen. We offer sightseeing cruises that bring passengers surprisingly up-close to the pristine beauty of Georgian Bay's remote island wilderness and the rustic charm of its grand summer cottages. The Island Queen is fully equipped with comfortable seating, large viewing windows, outside observation decks, wheelchair accessible washrooms, a snack bar, a full commentary and heat for our fall colour cruises. Cruises depart daily from June 1 to mid-October each year from the town dock in Parry Sound, Ontario. New this year is the "Islander", our brand new 40-passenger vessel! We're offering two tours on the Islander, a lunch tour to Henry's World Famous Fish Restaurant on Frying Pan Island and a guided hiking tour to Huckleberry Island, where staff from the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve will join us for a casual stroll over the rocks. See website for details.
