Welcome to the account for Georgian Bay Islands National Park (GBINP) & Beausoleil Islands National Park (BINHS).

GBINP/BINHS is on the edge of the Canadian Shield and the Saint Lawrence Lowlands, the park islands are home to both northern and southern species of plants and animals. This "edge effect" is evident in the park landscape. The barren, glacier-scraped rock and windswept pines that fired the imagination of the Group of Seven artists dominate the northern islands and northern Beausoleil Island. Southern Beausoleil Island, with its thicker soils and rich hardwood forests is very different from the northern part of the island. This diverse landscape offers habitat for many common, unique and protected species.
