We just wrapped up ten unforgettable days in the Georgian Bay, the section of the Great Loop I’ve looked forward to more than any other. After dreaming about this part of the journey for years, I wondered if it could ever live up to the expectations. It did—and then some. We’ve anchored in some of the most beautiful, quiet, and private coves I’ve ever seen. Other days were the opposite—rafting up with friends, swimming, laughing, and enjoying long afternoons together on the water. One day we took the tenders out to a waterfall for a swim. Another time we navigated up river rapids to explore a maze of hidden waterways. We’ve seen a black bear, found wild blueberries, and crossed paths with aquatic wildlife I never expected. Apparently giant snapping turtles call this place home. It’s been everything I hoped Georgian Bay would be. This stretch is truly one of the crown jewels of the Loop.
