Discover Manitoulin Island

Manitoulin Island is the largest freshwater island in the world, a land of farms, limestone cliffs and more than a hundred inland lakes — including Lake Manitou, the largest lake on a freshwater island. Hike the Cup and Saucer Trail for cliff-top views, swim at Providence Bay’s long sandy beach, see Bridal Veil Falls at Kagawong and learn about Anishinaabe culture at Wiikwemkoong’s summer powwow.

A cottage for rent on Manitoulin Island is a slow, relaxed summer of beaches, fishing and small-town festivals. You can drive in over the swing bridge at Little Current, about 6 hours from Toronto via Sudbury, or take the Chi-Cheemaun ferry from Tobermory to South Baymouth, a crossing of about 2 hours.
