Maple Island is a locality in Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Maple Island is located at 45.6983°N, 79.8717°W.

Maple Island rises from the clear, cool waters of Georgian Bay, a verdant jewel dotted with the sturdy silhouettes of pines and the brighter green of deciduous trees. It lies 40.4 km north-north-east of Parry Sound, ON (from Parry Sound, ON: bearing 18°T), and is situated 13.8 km west-north-west of Cedar Croft. Its shores, a mosaic of smooth granite outcroppings and small, pebbled beaches, are etched by the persistent lapping of waves, a constant murmur that sets the tempo for the island’s life. The air here, especially in the late afternoon as the sun begins its slow descent, carries the crisp, invigorating scent of pine needles and damp earth, a fragrance that clings to the skin and awakens the senses. The terrain, gently rolling and crisscrossed by narrow, winding paths, suggests a place that has been shaped more by natural forces than by the heavy hand of human design, its character a quiet resilience. Historically, Maple Island has always been intrinsically linked to the bounty of the surrounding waters and the dense woodlands that once carpeted its interior. Early settlers, drawn by the promise of timber and the rich fishing grounds, carved out a modest existence, their endeavours reflected in the weathered remnants of old boathouses and the occasional moss-covered stone foundation. While the logging industry has long since faded, a spirit of self-reliance and connection to the natural world persists, manifesting in a small but vibrant local economy that often relies on seasonal tourism and the artisanal crafts born from the island’s own resources. The quiet hum of boat engines in the summer months and the hushed stillness of winter are the dominant sounds, punctuated by the calls of gulls and the rustle of leaves, a testament to Maple Island's enduring, unpretentious charm.
