Parry Sound Directions (Cottage Phone: 705-746-9586)

• From Alexandria, we either take the Washington Parkway north to 495 or take I 495 past Tysons, then across the bridge into Maryland.

• I 270 N to US 15 at Frederick, MD.

• 15 N past Harrisburg and Williamsport into New York, all the way to I 390 (just always follow the US 15 N signs).

• I 390 to US 63 to Batavia, NY, (at Batavia take 98 over to I 90, just follow signs to I 90) or take 98 north to NY 31, then NY 31 west to I 190 to Canada (in this case skip next two lines of directions).

• I 90 (Toll) to I 290 to Niagara Falls.

• I 190 to Canada (Bridge is Toll).

• QEW to 407 Express Way. (The 407 starts just past Hamilton. It is a Toll way with automatic cameras. They bill you later, although they have not found us yet.)

• 407 to 400/69 N to Barrie (This is quite a way. 400 starts somewhere after you see signs to the Toronto airport).

• Follow 400 all the way to Parry Sound, then see directions below. It is four lane the whole way.

 AAA sends you a different route, but this is the one we always use.

Here are the directions as you approach Parry Sound:

Tip: Arrive in the day time. It is easier to find the cottage.

• Highway 400 from Toronto to Parry Sound.
• Enter Parry Sound at the Bowes St. exit (Exit 224).
• Go straight on Bowes. 
• Turn left on Forest at the new building on the corner. (Distance from this corner to cottage is 10.7 miles)
• Go to end and turn right on Parry Sound Rd. 
• Go to bottom of hill and turn left on Emily.
• Go out Emily to swing bridge. 
• Wait for green light (or, in case of flashing red, stop, check for oncoming traffic and go). Cross bridge and continue straight on Parry Island. 
• At "T" intersection (cemetery), turn left (follow sign to Wasausink Marina).
• At "Y" intersection, go left (follow sign to Wasausink Marina).
• Curve shortly after the "Y" is a killer, go slow.
• Pass Paradise Lane (maybe a sign, maybe not) on right, continue to "Y" intersection (6/10ths mile), turn right on Raven (there are sometimes no signs here, easy to miss).
• At "T" intersection on Paradise Lane), turn right, go up hill to Park Road (first left, no sign), turn left (if you miss the first left, the next left is also Park Road, with a sign).
• The cottages are numbered by fours. We are #32, but are without a number sign. So we are the driveway between #28 and #36. Our driveway is very hard to see. It is right next to the #28 driveway, but runs in a slightly different direction. Look for the badly scarred trees that Cindy hit with the boat trailer. 
• Sign for #28 has been knocked down. I put a sign with our name at the beginning of our driveway.
• Our cottage has a two car garage with orange doors to the left at the end of the driveway.
• If you have to stop for directions at any point, tell them that you are looking for lot #193 (the #32 thing won't help anyone help you).
