Precision Data for the 30,000 Islands

The approaches to Parry Sound are famous for their rugged beauty and unforgiving granite shoals. CHS Chart 2224 is specifically engineered to meet these unique navigational requirements:

• High-Detail Bathymetry: Essential for large vessels utilizing the deep-water channels, as well as recreational boaters navigating the shallows near Killbear Provincial Park.

• Detailed Channel Marking: Provides the exact locations of the extensive buoy systems and lighted beacons required to safely transit the "Big Sound".

• Coastal Elevations: Shows the precise configuration of the shoreline and prominent landmarks, aiding in visual pilotage through the high-relief terrain of the Canadian Shield.

• Seabed Nature: Identifies reliable anchoring grounds—critical for cruisers seeking shelter in the lee of Rose Island or the many smaller inlets.

The Standard for Georgian Bay Mariners

With the increasing popularity of large-scale cruising and commercial shipping in the region, the role of Chart 2224 is more vital than ever. Don't rely on generic digital overlays; use the official "ground-truth" data provided by the CHS to ensure the protection of your vessel, crew, and the pristine environment of this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
