Day 2
After breakfast, head north varying your route between Hwy 69 and the less travelled, winding side roads as indicated by the driving directions. Be sure to stop at the French River Visitor Centre. Here you will enjoy views of the French River gorge as you wander across the suspension bridge on your way to Recollet Falls. Continuing north, travel west to the Village of Killarney (Hwy 637 west, north of French River), a quaint village nestled at the base of the La Cloche Mountains. If you didn’t get your fill of Georgian Bay whitefish last night, be sure to lunch on amazing fish & chips at Herbert Fisheries Mister Perch located right on the dock! When you’ve had your fill, retrace your steps on Hwy 637 to Hwy 69 north to Sudbury, where you’ll spend the night. After checking into your accommodation, head to Dynamic Earth around sunset to catch the last golden rays of daylight reflected in the nine metre high Big Nickel.
