About Orillia

What to know before you book

Orillia is the 'Sunshine City' at the north end of Lake Simcoe and south end of Lake Couchiching — the gateway to Ontario's cottage country. It's home to Casino Rama (one of Ontario's largest casinos on the Chippewas of Rama First Nation territory), the Stephen Leacock Museum (Canada's famous humorist was born here), and a charming downtown on Couchiching's western shore.

Orillia serves as a natural stopping point between Barrie (30 min south) and Muskoka cottage country (30 min north), making it a popular overnight base for cottage weekend access.
