Beausoleil Island 

​

Beausoleil Island, located in southeastern Georgian Bay, is the largest island within the Georgian Bay Islands National Park, which encompasses over 30,000 islands in the world’s largest freshwater archipelago. Positioned at the transition zone between the Canadian Shield and Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands, Beausoleil Island boasts an exceptional diversity of habitats. The unique combination of shoreline ecosystems and inland features creates a thriving environment for both flora and fauna.​

​

Home to 17 species of reptiles and 12 species of amphibians, Beausoleil Island hosts more than half of Ontario's herpetofauna, making it an exceptional biodiversity hotspot. As part of a national park, the island offers a protected environment ideal for hands-on learning, real-world conservation skills, and species identification. Accessible by boat and equipped with well-maintained facilities, it's a convenient and inspiring place to explore Ontario's rich herpetofauna!
