Manitoulin Island

Activities in Manitoulin Island

  1. Great Spirit Circle Trail

    The eight local First Nation communities have collaborated to form a consortium offering fascinating tours of the island and local culture. Most tours stop at the Ojibwe Cultural Foundation which can be explored at one's leisure (although guided tours of the museum are highly recommended). Rotating exhibits reflect a rich history of legends and skilled craftwork.

  2. Cup & Saucer Trail

    Near the junction of Hwy 540 and Bidwell Rd (18km southwest of Little Current) lies the entrance to the Cup and Saucer Trail – a must for any hiker. The 12km path leads to the highest point on the island (351m), which has marvelous views of the crinkled shoreline along the North Channel. Stop in Kagawong at Bridal Veil Falls and let the melodic splashes fall on your head. Check out Manitoulin's largest beach, west of the ferry landing at Providence Bay, or go frolicking in the trenchlike dunes at quiet Carter Bay, also on the southeastern shore.
