Georgian Bay

Bay in Ontario, Canada, forming the northeast section of Lake Huron, the second largest of the Great Lakes of North America; it is divided from the lake by the Manitoulin Islands and the Bruce Peninsula of Ontario; length 160 km/100 mi; width 80 km/50 mi. About 30 islands at the southern end form the Georgian Bay National Park. The area is a popular tourist destination.

Georgian Bay was named after George IV. It was home to the Huron people, and is the place where, in the 17th century, Jesuit missionaries first tried to convert American Indians.
