We started out by taking a drive to the Big Chute Marine Railway. This engineering marvel is the only one of its kind in North America. This contraption captures a boat or multiple boats in a sling the proceeds to drive up out of the water, across a small stretch of land, including a crossing a road, and then drive down into the water on the other side to release the boat. It's lock 44 on the Trent-Severn Waterway. After watching the Marine railway do its things a few times, we drove to Parry Sound and climbed a 100 foot lookout tower before setting off on a 3 hour boat tour of the 30,000 islands in the Georgian Bay.
