Georgian Bay Islands National Park (established 1929) consists of 63 small islands or parts of islands in Georgian Bay, near Port Severn, Ontario.[1] The total park area is approximately Шаблон:Convert. Prior to the creation of Fathom Five National Marine Park, Flowerpot Island was also a part of the park.[2]
The islands blend the exposed rocks and pines of the Canadian Shield with the hardwood forests found further south. The park can only be reached by boat and all of the islands are open to the public. Limited camping and docking facilities, trails and cabins are only available on the largest island, Beausoleil Island.[3]
It is part of the Georgian Bay Littoral Biosphere Reserve.
Wildlife
It is home to mammalian species such as white-tailed deer, moose, black bear, coyote, timber wolf, lynx, bobcat, porcupine, raccoon, beaver, red and gray fox species, chipmunk, and red squirrel. This park also provides habitat for 33 species of reptiles and amphibians, including the five lined skink, eastern hognose snake, the eastern fox snake, and the threatened eastern Massasauga rattlesnake.[4] Some of the more isolated islands provide nesting areas for colonies of gulls and terns.
