Tay spans the lower Coldwater River and the edge of Matchedash Bay in Ontario’s Simcoe County, a waterside position that has shaped the township’s small communities and transport links. The municipality extends to Georgian Bay, whose sheltered inlets, marshes and islands give this stretch of shore a distinctly lowland character. The Tay Shore Trail follows a former rail corridor between Waubaushene and Victoria Harbour, providing a route for walking and cycling through shoreline settlements. At Port McNicoll, early-20th-century development as a Canadian Pacific Great Lakes port recalls the era when rail and steamship travel met on the bay.
