This section is dedicated to take away all your "I wish someone had told me that before I went!" experiences. This way, you can spend less time settling in, and more time making new friends in your chosen hostel. We share our insider knowledge of tips, tricks and important things to look out for in Parry Sound.
Parry Sound is known by the locals and any avid hockey fan to be the home of Bobby Orr, arguably one of the best defense players of all time. During your trip to Parry Sound, you can visit the Bobby Orr Museum to learn about his life and playing history -- it is a must for those who love the hockey that Canada has to offer.
For those that are more into nature, the Magnetawan Loop is one of the most popular canoes trips in Ontario and it passes through a series of different lakes and rivers with multiple portages along the way. The local area has a few provincial parks with some beautiful hiking and views. The town also has companies that offer river cruises and four-wheel-drive tours around the Georgian Bay so that you can become familiar with the beauty of the bay. The views of the Georgian Bay from the top of Tower Hill are also amazing and this is also the location of one of the town's most popular museums.
Hostels in Parry Sound are located within the town center and as such you will have access to all of the amenities that are here such as groceries and fuel and whatever else that you may need during your stay. Parry Sound is accessible by bus, but getting around these regions and seeing all the sights can be difficult if you do not have a car. Your friendly Parry Sound hostel staff should be able to help you with information on the best way to get around if you don't have a car.
