Discover the charm of Georgina, a lakeside destination where adventure, relaxation and small-town hospitality come together. Nestled along the southern shores of Lake Simcoe, Georgina is known for its year-round outdoor experiences — from swimming, boating, and beach days in the summer to ice fishing, snowshoeing and tubing in the winter. Visitors are drawn to our historic downtowns, vibrant local shops, farm-to-table experiences and scenic trails that wind through forests and along the waterfront. Whether you're experiencing arts and culture, enjoying local festivals, or simply unwinding by the lake, Georgina offers an authentic escape just one hour north of Toronto.
The Town of Georgina is home to Sibbald Point Provincial Park, Stephen Leacock Theatre, Georgina Village Museum, York Region’s Adventure Headquarters - the ROC and is one of the top fishing destinations in Ontario.

While Georgina may be known for its summer recreation, it may be even better known for its winter activities on and off the ice. Lake Simcoe, Georgina’s natural gem, does not disappoint in the winter. It is considered by many as the ice fishing capital and is a recreational playground for thrill-seekers and families alike. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and explore Georgina for a fun weekend getaway.
Hit the slopes at the ROC for skiing, snowboarding, tubing, tobogganing, or snowshoeing—with convenient on-site rentals available. After a day in the snow, explore the unique shops in our historic downtowns and enjoy a delicious prix fixe meal at one of our Taste of Georgina restaurants. Unwind at a lakeside accommodation that offers the perfect blend of comfort and scenic views.
