Discover the best of Midland through a collection of curated signature experiences that promise to deliver an immersion of Canadian history, natural beauty, and the legends of Georgian Bay.


Sainte Marie Among the Hurons - The location of Ontario’s first European Community founded in 1639. After extensive archaeological and historical research, Sainte-Marie among the Hurons is now recreated on its original site, where the mission’s compelling story is brought to life with costumed historical interpreters and interactive activities.


Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre - located on 3,000 acres of Provincially Significant Wetlands and woodlands. Featuring an interpretive centre, over 25 kilometres (13 miles) of trails to explore, birds of prey field, and waterfowl monitoring station.


Discovery Harbour - Explore the reconstructed naval and military base with roots dating back to 1793. The War of 1812 between Britain and the United States sparked the construction of an active naval dockyard at Penetanguishene. The Naval Establishment is now the permanent home to two warships: H.M.S Tecumseth and H.M.S. Bee.


Huronia Museum -  Featuring a replica of a “pre-contact” Huron/Ouendat village, including a lookout tower, wigwam and a full-size longhouse. Explore the exhibit gallery featuring tens of thousands of historic artifacts ranging from photographs, native archaeology, marine heritage of Georgian Bay, and art by members of the famous Group of Seven, as well as others.


Awenda Park - The park has over 7200 acres of land with 30 kilometers (19 miles) of hiking trails, offering a variety or shorter and longer trails to accommodate most ability levels. The Robitaille Homestead Trail has sand dunes which have been estimated at 11,500 years, from the time of the last glacial retreat. The Wendat Trail Loop is an excellent spot for wildlife viewing, specifically for birds such as the blue heron, loons, and small birds. A built boardwalk brings visitors over the wetlands with a view of Kettle's Lake. The park also offers several pristine beaches. 


Martyrs' Shrine - is a holy and historic place of worship and pilgrimage, continuing a nearly 400 year story of love and discovery with St. Jean de Brébeuf and his companions. Among the millions of people who have visited the Martyrs' Shrine are Pope John Paul II, and Queen Elizabeth II.


Beausoleil Island National Historic Site of Canada - The largest island in Georgian Bay Islands National Park of Canada. As a cultural landscape, Beausoleil Island represents aspects of the relationship that evolved over the centuries between the Anishinaabeg of the southern Georgian Bay area and their ancestral territories. 


Midland Food Tours - Experience Midland Walking Food Tours are three flavoursome-filled hours of guided strolling, sampling fresh cuisine and sipping local refreshments prepared by proud and passionate local chefs and vendors.  The tour highlights incredible downtown art work and murals, 1800s architecture, as well as exceptional shops.
