Day 5
Today you’re heading to the World’s Largest Freshwater Island, Manitoulin Island (Hwy 17 west of Sudbury to Hwy 6 south). Enter the Island at Little Current, by crossing the oldest swing bridge in North America. Built in 1913, it still swings 15 minutes on the hour to allow marine traffic to pass. Once on the Island, head to Kagawong (Hwy 540 West), for a walk and some site-seeing at Bridal Veil Falls. Take a dip, pull up a picnic table, and then follow the trails to the Bay. If you’re traveling with your bike, be sure to take advantage of the limited traffic and magnificent scenic views by cycling Manitoulin’s backroads. Don’t forget to make reservations for the Chi-Cheemaun for tomorrow’s sailing.
