About Georgian Bay
Georgian Bay is the northeastern arm of Lake Huron, in Ontario. It's characterized by rugged bedrock and white pine forests to the north and sandy southern beaches. Bruce Peninsula National Park on its western side includes part of the Bruce Trail along the Niagara Escarpment. Fathom Five National Marine Park is known for preserved shipwrecks, 19th-century lighthouses and Flowerpot Island's sea-stack rock formations.
