With more than ten marinas throughout Georgina and 52 kilometres of Lake Simcoe shoreline, there are ample opportunities to enjoy the water.
We also have a thriving agri-tourism community where you can purchase and experience fresh products straight from the farm. The Georgina Farmers’ Market runs from May through October and is a seasonal favourite offering local products from more than 30 vendors.
