Great Loop Lifestyle - Orillia, Ontario

We loved our visit to Orillia! The Port of Orillia is an AGLCA sponsor and a top-notch marina that is 100% transient slips, so they usually have space available. The town welcomes boaters and there are so many unique shops, tasty restaurants, and beautiful art displays throughout the downtown area. This is a must-stop destination for your Great Loop adventure.
