Matchedash Bay Trail

Matchedash Bay is the largest marsh situated on Georgian Bay and is listed as an Important Bird Area (IBA).

The marsh and aquatic transition areas in the Bay are continually changing due to fluctuating water levels. Woodlands of the Matchedash Bay Provincial Wildlife Area are typical of the Great Lakes - Saint Lawrence Forest Region.

Matchedash Bay is situated on the contact zone between granite shield and limestone bedrock. The transitional and young nature of the forests, leads to the occurrence of species of both northern and southern areas.
