Join us for an experience on beautiful Kempenfelt Bay, Lake Simcoe! This adventure includes a leisurely tour of the Barrie waterfront giving you the chance to unwind and see the city sights from the Bay. We will cover safety, basic strokes, and then we are on the water. Enjoy the sights, the birds and ducks, and paddle over a shipwreck from the 1800’s. Would you like your picture taken by the fountain, or with the Spirit Catcher sculpture in the background? We have it covered. We bring the camera! We offer some early evening moonlight or glow in the dark paddles too. We have stand up paddleboards and canoes. We also have sea kayaks, sit on top kayaks or would you prefer a kayak built for two? We have two tandem kayaks to accommodate friends and couples who wish to kayak together, and these tandem kayaks are awesome for parents and children. The kids can join their parents out on the lake in a tandem kayak for a great family experience! This is a great outing for singles, couples, and families. We supply the stand up paddle boards, the canoe, the kayak, paddles, and required safety equipment. Would you like to start building a foundation for your passion? During the summer we offer 2.5 hour stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, and canoeing clinics as well as Paddle Canada and ORCKA Certification one and two day courses. How about making a Greenland paddle or working on your navigation skills? HAPPYPADDLING is here to help. As Paddle Canada and Ontario Recreational Canoe and Kayak Organization instructors, we have the training and skills to help you discover the pleasure and freedom that paddling can provide.

The 6,000 hectare Minesing Wetlands feature swamps, marshes and fens to explore. Explore the Nottawasaga River You don’t have to travel north to find great paddling adventures! Located about an hour north of Toronto, the Nottawasaga River offers canoeist and kayakers of all abilities a chance to paddle through forests, wetlands and dunes close to home. Starting near the Hamlet of Nicolston, the Nottawasaga River Canoe Route runs 75 km downstream to Georgian Bay. You’ll find you can travel the entire route at a comfortable pace in two or three days. Day 1 – Middle Nottawasaga Best travelled in the spring, the 33 km trip along the Nottawasaga River from Nicolston to the Town of Angus features a series of small rapids, impressive clay and sand bluffs, and excellent rainbow trout fishing (catch and release only). 28 experience.simcoe.ca Day 2 – Minesing Wetlands From Angus, the river continues for 19 km through the internationally-significant Minesing Wetlands to the Hamlet of Edenvale. However, most paddlers opt to start their trip into the wetlands at Willow Creek, just south of Minesing Village. The creek winds through pristine marsh and open wetlands before reaching the main branch of the Nottawasaga. If you are a nature enthusiast, you’ll find a wide diversity of plants and animals to be discovered in the Minesing Wetlands, including more than 220 species of birds. Many of the 32 fish species that call the river home can be found here, including walleye, sturgeon, salmon and trout. Day 3 – Lower Nottawasaga Once out of the wetlands, the river travels 24 km to Wasaga Beach, where it spills into Georgian Bay. Along this section you’ll find Jack’s Lake, a popular open-water fishing spot that makes an easy paddle for families with young children. A bit further along the river, you’ll find a spectacular series of parabolic sand dunes, the largest in the province. Ready to go? Start your trip down the Nottawasaga at www.nvca.on.ca/recreation. Here you’ll find the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority’s Canoe Route Map, photos, and detailed descriptions of much of the river. experience.simcoe.ca 29 Balm Beach Georgian Grill www.georgiangrill.com 705-361-1861 The Surf Family Restaurant www.surfrestaurant.ca 705-361-1612 Barrie PLACES TO DINE Coldwater Riverhouse Restaurant www.severnfallsriverhouse.com 705-686-7850 Innsifil The Fork & Plate Family Grill www.theforkandplate.com 705-431-0442 The Farmhouse www.barriewaterfront.ca 705-737-0522 Harbour House Grill www.harbourhousegrill.com 705-456-3663 Hooters www.hooters.to/barrie 705-739-4668 Midland Pie Wood Fired Pizza Joint www.eatmypie.ca 705-728-7952 Shirley’s Bayside Grille www.shirleysbaysidegrille.com 705-735-0035 Brechin Lakeview Restaurant www.lakeviewlagooncity.com 705-505-5368 30 30 The Boathouse Eatery www.boathouseeatery.com 705-527-7480 Henry’s South Fish Restaurant www.henrysfishrestaurant.com 705-528-1919 Miss Midland 30,000 Islands Boat Cruises www.midlandtours.com 705-549-3388 experience.simcoe.ca PLACES TO DINE Orillia Gawleys Grill & Wine Bar at Rawley Resort www.rawleyresort.com 1-800-263-7538 Orillia Boat Cruises www.obcruise.com 705-325-2628 Severn Bridge Leacock Café (seasonal) www.leacockmuseum.com 705-329-1908 Studabakers Beachside Bar & Grill www.studabakersbeachside.com 705-259-4646 Penetanguishene Captain Roberts’ Table Restaurant at Discovery Harbour www.discoveryharbour.on.ca 705-549-0713 World Famous Dock Lunch www.penetang.com/docklunch 705-549-8111 Port Severn The Dam Grill at Bush’s Marina www.thedamgrill.com 705-538-1234 experience.simcoe.ca Echo’s Dining Lounge at Bayview Wildwood Resort www.bayviewwildwood.com 1-800-461-0243 Victoria Harbour The Quarterdeck www.thequarterdeck.ca 705-534-1211 Wasaga Beach The Dardanella Beach Bar www.thedard.com 705-429-6023 Georgian Restaurant www.georgianinnresort.com 705-429-2319 31 31 RESORTS ON THE WATER Balm Beach Resort & Motel Balm Beach www.balmbeachresort.com 705-361-1130 Georgian Inn Resort Wasaga Beach www.georgianinnresort.com 705-429-2319 Sunport Beach Resort & Motel Balm Beach www.sunportbeachresort.com 705-361-1617 Lakes of Wasaga Wasaga Beach www.parkbridge.com 705-429-5267 or 1-866-378-0833 Cranberry Resort Collingwood www.thecranberryresort.com 1-800-465-9077 Luau Resort Wasaga Beach www.luauresort.com 1-866-429-0283 Fern Resort Orillia www.fernresort.com 1-800-567-3376 Villa Nova Resort Wasaga Beach www.wasaga.com/villanova 705-429-2701 Rawley Resort & Marina Port Severn www.rawleyresort.com 1-800-263-7538 Wasaga CountryLife Wasaga Beach www.parkbridge.com 705-429-5267 or 1-866-378-0833 Bayview Wildwood Resort Severn Bridge www.bayviewwildwood.com 1-800-461-0243 Wasaga River Resort Wasaga Beach www.wasagariverresort.com 1-877-779-5114 Victoria Harbour Beach & Marine Resort Victoria Harbour www.parkbridge.com 705-534-7551 Wasaga Riverdocks Hotel Wasaga Beach www.wasagariverdocks.ca 1-844-927-2424 32 experience.simcoe.ca PADDLING IN SIMCOE COUNTY Simcoe County boasts some of the best paddling opportunities in both Southern and Central Ontario. Whether you crave vast expanses of open water or looking to explore meandering rivers, there is something for every paddler in Simcoe County. Below are just a few samplings of the veritable buffet of the counties waterways. Sea kayaking on Georgian Bay is definitely for those looking for adventure. There are many communities along the shores of Georgian Bay that offer various quick and easy access to get you out and on the water in no time, including Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, Awenda Provincial Park, Penetanguishene, and Midland. Whether you prefer to cruise the shoreline or head for bigger water, always be sure to check the weather first, and let someone know where you’re going and when you plan on returning. The Black River is a great day trip for the intermediate paddler. Launching east of Washago, the Black will take you through a few sets of rapids, and you’ll see some of the beautiful granite features that make up the southern tip of the Canadian Shield. The Nottawasaga River is an amazing river with incredible historical significance. It’s perfect for both canoes and kayaks, and has convenient put-ins at both the Edenvale Conservation area and Klondike Sports Park. This paddle is great for novice paddlers and families. Minesing Swamp is an incredible internationally recognized wetland stretching over an area of more than 6,000 hectares. It provides paddlers with some amazing early season paddling when the water levels are high. Make sure you have someone along with you who knows the swamp; this could be a friend who knows it well, or a hired guide from a local outfitter. Also, remember to bring some binoculars, as the swamp is considered a prime birding location. 6 Mile Lake is a Provincial Park that offers great opportunities for all levels of paddlers. Located close to Coldwater, many people use this park as a starting point for the Gibson to McDonald canoe route. Lake Simcoe is a large lake known for its chop, so ensure to check the weather before heading out. Access points include Kempenfelt Bay in Barrie and Cook’s Bay near Keswick. Cook’s Bay has some great marshes that are definitely worth exploring!
