Georgian Bay is contained with Manitoulin Island to the north and Bruce Peninsula to the west which is connected to Lake Huron. Georgian Bay includes many of the tens of thousands of islands that dot the uneven shoreline. Many parts of the terrain is rocky and rugged because it is part of the Canadian Shield, which is rich in its mineral deposits and large forests. The trees include black and white spruce, jack pine, tamarach, poplar, white birch and balsam. Rock in Georgian Bay has been dated back as far back as 1.5 billion years. Rock near this age is thought to represent part of the initial crust of the Earth. Georgian Bay was charted by Captain Henry W. Bayfield of the Royal Navy in 1822, he named the area after King George IV.
