Hole in the Wall

From Parry Sound Harbour, you can board a boat to visit this narrow channel of water between Huckleberry and White islands.

Hole in the Wall

 

Bordered by steep rock cliffs covered in cedar and white pine, the channel formed from gradual erosion of gneiss rock.

If you take a close look, you’ll find large groups of Northern map turtles sunbathing on the shoreline.
