Discovery Harbour

Discovery Harbour dates back to 1793 when John Graves Simcoe scouted Penetanguishene Bay as a strategic site for a naval base. The War of 1812 sparked the construction of an active naval dockyard here. Discovery Harbour, a living history attraction nestled along the shores of Penetanguishene Bay, awaits you and your family. Come and discover this site for yourself!
