Georgian Shores Marina, Shelley Jackson
I
n Owen Sound, you are never far from water – rivers and waterfalls, quiet bays and beaches,
and the harbour that is the city’s namesake. Pick your passion and dive in for some great
boating, fishing, swimming, or salmon watching. Be sure to visit at least one waterfall before
you leave!
ANGLING
Owen Sound is a magnet for serious anglers
and novices. Challenge your skills with
Chinook salmon and rainbow, lake or brown
trout. You can eat what you catch here. The
highlight of the fishing season is the 10-day
Salmon Spectacular in late August. The event
attracts about 5,000 anglers and their families,
who compete for thousands of dollars worth
of prizes in salmon and trout categories.
Don’t have a boat? You can fish off the
harbour wall for salmon and trout in late
summer and fall. Catch these beauties in the
evening and throughout the night until early
morning. Ice fishing is also popular when the
bay freezes over. Head to Watson’s Tackle for
supplies.
BOATING
Owen Sound’s bay and harbour are natural
ports of call for recreational boaters. The city
has public boat launches on each side of the
harbour and the west side launch has a coffee
shop, live bait and tackle and a fish cleaning
station.There is also a floating dock for visiting
craft on the east side of the inner harbour.

C
lean, fresh and invigorating every day
of the year, Harrison Park is the city’s
“Jewel in the Crown,” a 40-hectare
retreat with gardens, playgrounds, trails, a
campground and recreational facilities, plus
access to the famed Bruce Trail and two
waterfalls, Weaver’s Creek Falls and Inglis
Falls.
Pack a picnic or dine at the Harrison Park
Inn, a restaurant on site.Visit the Black History
Cairn and learn about Owen Sound’s role in
the Underground Railroad. Head to the aviary
to feed the swans and see if you can spot any
goslings, or look for salmon spawning in the
river in fall.
You can swim outdoors in a heated pool
under a canopy of trees, or cool off on the
quiet boardwalk at Weaver’s Creek Falls,
where the temperature dips noticeably due
to the cold, spring-fed water. When’s the last
time you rode on a paddle-boat in a tranquil
river or played a round of mini-golf?
Harrison Park is an urban oasis for all ages
and all seasons, loved by locals and visitors
alike. Whether you have an hour to spare, or

A LITTLE HISTORY
Harrison Park was the passion of a sawmill
owner, John Harrison, who purchased a 150-
acre tract of land with his wife Emma in 1875
that would become known as Harrison’s
Pleasure Grounds. For more than a quarter of
a century, until his death, he worked to turn
the land into a park, creating roads and paths
but preserving its natural state where possible.
When Harrison Park was turned over to the
city a century ago, it was deemed one of the
most beautiful parks in Ontario. Today, it
remains one of the area’s greatest attractions,
retaining the natural beauty and rustic charm
that have drawn generations of people to its
gates.
