To the south of lake Simcoe is Newmarket, the town which the film star and comedian Jim Carrey was born. This is a large town containing everything you’d need facility wise, with every fast food place you’d ever need as well as a large Mall named Upper Canada Mall.
To the West of Lake Simcoe is Barrie, where Horse Shoe resort is located, as well as the Ski Snow Valley park. The combination of these resorts makes Barrie a good choice whether you plan on travelling in the summer or winter, with the Horse Shoe Resort providing activities for all times of the year.
