Summers on Georgian Bay

Crystal clear waters attract beach goers, boaters, fishing families and provide fun water based activities for all. Clean beaches that are safe for swimming and water sports are critical factors in bringing guests back year after year. Delawana has several fresh water beaches on-site and on Royal Island for swimming, waterskiing, children’s play areas, canoe and kayak launch site, and personal watercraft and boat docking.

Delawana also engages their guests with outdoor nature programs including water based environmental education about wetlands, flora & fauna and healthy eco aquatic systems in the Georgian Bay area. Both children and adults can participate with the on-site naturalists from the Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre in Midland.
