Introducing Orillia
Orillia (oh-really-ya) proudly sits at the northern end of Lake Simcoe, which pours into Lake Couchiching. This major stop along the Trent-Severn Waterway is an amiable town that sees plenty of tourist traffic during the summer months. Triangular sails and grumbling motorboats clutter the harbor, while drivers turn off Hwy 11 for a stroll down the time-warped Mississauga St, Orillia’s main drag. The tourist office (705-326-4424; 150 Front St S; 9am-7pm mid-May–mid-Sep, 8:30am-5pm mid-Sep–mid-May) will point you in the right direction, and during summer a manned info booth can be found on the docks.
