With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Parry Sound, 20 miles away, has to offer. Oastler Lake Provincial Park, Parry Sound Mall and Charles W Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts alone make the drive out worth it. North Bay is another popular option. It’s 55 miles away and boasts tons of intriguing things to do. North Bay Memorial Gardens, Capitol Centre and Discovery North Bay are just the start.
