Living in Parry Sound is attractive to people whose lifestyles centre around the outdoors and water recreation. It’s a favourite for active retirees, families, boaters, and adventurous seasonal residents. While you’ll need a vehicle or a boat to reach outlying areas, exploring Parry Sound’s colourful downtown on foot is the best way to get a feel for the heart of the area, whether enjoying a charming lunch with a view of the water or popping into one of the many quaint local shops.
Parry Sound overlooks the world’s largest freshwater archipelago, the 30,000 Islands region of the Georgian Bay. Revered for its scenic beauty, this town draws those who spend their days sailing, cruising, canoeing, kayaking and fishing. Nearby Killbear Provincial Park is where you’ll find grounds for camping, beaches, and hiking routes along rugged shorelines.
A piece of Canadian heritage, Parry Sound is also known as the “birthplace of Bobby Orr” and is home to the Stockey Centre for Performing Arts & Bobby Orr Hall of Fame.
