Welcome to Manitoulin Island - Guide Book:-)
Hiking Trails
Misery Bay Provincial Park is located 35 kilometers west of the Town of Gore Bay, on the south shore of Manitoulin Island; the world's largest freshwater island, It features flora, fauna and glacial features that are among the rarest of their kind in the province. It also contains the most significant wetland on Manitoulin Island, 15 km of Lake Huron shoreline and extensive areas of scrub woodland and mixed forest. The park, a day-use only nature reserve, was created for the protection of these habitats while allowing opportunities for the appreciation of this diverse natural heritage. A network of carefully selected hiking trails wind through the less fragile areas of the park, providing excellent viewing opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. For winter enjoyment these same trails become a snowy wonderland.
Misery Bay Provincial Park is located on an ancient flat rock sea bottom and features areas of flat limestone plains known as alvars, unique habitats that host highly specialized vegetation adapted to the harsh conditions of this environment. During the late spring and late summer, the alvars are ablaze with wildflowers. It is this feature that makes the Misery Bay Nature Reserve a world class park. The Great Lakes Basin has the only alvars found in North America, and most of the alvars found in the world. The Manitoulin cluster of alvars are the most significant alvars found anywhere in the world.
The park also supports rich and varied population of wildlife. Manitoulin is noted for its many migrant and resident birds, and Misery Bay lives up to that reputation. At Misery Bay birders will find a variety of birding environments and staging areas during migration. Butterflies are numerous in the park, as are turtles. Visitors might be fortunate enough to glimpse a variety of such other wild creatures as otter, fishers, fox, coyote, and other mammals.

Waterfall
Located just outside the village of Kagawong, along Highway 540. A popular tourist destination, these stunning falls can be accessed easily from the main road. A small parking lot offers entry to the waterfall and trail system. Public washrooms are available and several picnic tables are scattered around if you choose to have lunch. During the summer months, arrive early or find parking along the side of the road as it can become quite busy.
The waterfall itself is 35 feet in height, fed from interior Lake Kagawong. A steel staircase and easy walking trail lead you down to the base of the falls. Plan to swim in the natural pool formed at the bottom of the falls, but come prepared with water shoes – the rocks can be sharp and a bit slippery. Don’t feel like getting wet? Photography enthusiasts will want to take advantage of several observation platforms at varying levels to capture the perfect shot. Walk behind the waterfall for a somewhat drier perspective.

Sightseeing
From Bridal Veil Falls, there is an beautiful and easy walking trail along the river into Kagawong. Various art sculptures are hidden among the flora and fauna on the trail. Be sure to stay on the trail, as Poison Ivy is prominent.
Both the trail and the river end at the Village of Kagawong, a community rich in history and full of things to discover. Visiting this small town is like taking a step back in time. In Ojibwe the name means “where the mists rise from the falling waters.” Kagawong declares itself Ontario’s Prettiest Village, and with good reason.
Begin walking the waterfront at the Old Mill Heritage Centre. The Old Mill used to be a pulp mill, providing paper for Sears Roebuck catalogues in Michigan. Today it houses an art gallery and museum. There is no charge for entry but donations are welcome. With a variety of exhibits to choose from, everyone in the family will find something of interest.
Continue along the waterfront to Kagawong Marina, located on the docks, which offers a scenic lookout of Mudge Bay. The mouth of the Bay also has a sandy beach which is perfect for a refreshing dip and some fun in the sun!
After walking the waterfront, begin the hike back up the hill to the falls. Along the way, those with a sweet tooth will want to visit Manitoulin Chocolate Works, which offers hand crafted artisan chocolates sourced from Barry Callebaut Belgian Chocolate. This chocolate is known not only for their incredible texture and flavour, but for their sustainable business practices. They work directly with cocoa farmers to ensure a fair, sustainable industry.
Regardless of the amount of time you have to spend and the types of activities you like to enjoy, the Village of Kagawong and Bridal Veil Falls will be a popular stop for just about everyone. Enjoy exploring this beautiful area!

For Islanders, the name Providence Bay is synonymous with ‘the beach’. Located on the south shore of Manitoulin and looking out upon a vast expanse of Lake Huron, the beach at Providence Bay is arguably the best in Northern Ontario. Early native inhabitants of the area called the bay Bebekodawangog, which translates as “where the beach curves around the water”. In later years, after being shipwrecked offshore, survivors of the wreck reached the beach and called the bay ‘Providence’ in an act of pious gratitude. It is with a sense of gratitude that visitors, too, will arrive in Providence Bay. Besides being home to the beach, the village is home to a number of interesting shops and restaurants, as well as a big playground right on the beach, so the kids can play and swim while the parents take in the stunning views.

Incorporated in 1890, Gore Bay is one of the larger communities on Manitoulin. The town may have been named after its tapering gore-shaped harbour nestled between two splendid, tree-covered bluffs; or perhaps it derived its name from a steamship The Gore which was trapped in the ice of the bay one winter.
At the turn of the century, Gore Bay became the judicial centre of Manitoulin, and one of the Island’s commercial and professional centres. Elegant nineteenth-century mansions and imposing limestone buildings on the tree-lined streets testify to the prosperity of the early community.
Today Gore Bay thrives as a service centre for Western Manitoulin. Its fine natural harbour attracts boaters from around the Great Lakes. Both visitors and residents enjoy the good shopping, restaurants and medical services; the recreational facilities including docks, tennis courts, golf course, beach, park, picnic areas and home to the Split Rail Brewing Company,

Although the village of Meldrum Bay is in actual fact named after a town in Scotland, it may have more in common with England’s westernmost point, known as Land’s End. Meldrum Bay is within a short distance of western Manitoulin’s ‘land’s end’, where the North Channel links with Lake Huron through the Mississagi Strait. Historically, the Strait has been known for its treacherous magnetic shoals, which could fool a turn-of-the-century compass into pointing straight towards the very reef the ship’s crew hoped to avoid. A lighthouse was built in 1873 to assist in navigation, but to this day the waters of the Mississagi Strait are respected as temperamental and at times unforgiving.
Meldrum Bay today is a quaint “Peggy’s Cove”-like community which offers a retail store, marina, restaurant, accommodation and museum. Fishing charters are available.

Ten Mile Point Scenic Lookout is located just 3 km. east of the village of Sheguiandah on Manitoulin Island. From the top of the high bluff it overlooks the spectacular view of the islands clear to the La Cloche ridges of Killarney. A picnic area with toilet facilities offers a welcome rest stop for visitors. After enjoying the gorgeous scenery, visitors can admire equally impressive displays inside the Ten Mile Point Trading Post & Gallery, which exhibits the island’s biggest collection of traditionally designed native crafts and aboriginal art. Many of its collector pieces cannot be found elsewhere. Specialties include paintings, porcupine quill boxes, antler and stone carvings, turquoise jewellery, moccasins, jackets, blankets, furs, native music recordings and unusual books of local and aboriginal lore.

Although located on its eastern fringe, Little Current, the Island’s gateway community, is in many ways a centre for Manitoulin. First settled in the late 1860s, Little Current grew into a major Great Lakes port with docks filled with passenger freighters, sawmills on the western waterfront employing hundreds of workers, and visitors crowding into the towns three hotels. Today visitors cross the town’s most famous landmark, the swing bridge, to discover a lovely town where they can enjoy shopping along the downtown streets, strolling along the docks, and relaxing in the waterfront parks. In the summer the harbour is again crowded with boats, but now mostly pleasure craft. Each year some 3,000 boats, both power and sailboats, tie up at the new town docks or at one of three marinas.
Little Current is the Hub for Sheguiandah, with all amenities needed: 2 grocery stores, LCBO/Beer Store, banks, hospital, vet, restaurants, laundromat, great shops, marina, park and boat charters.

Lake Mindemoya, the smallest of Manitoulin’s three great inland lakes, is unique in that it features a large island near its eastern shore. Although known as Treasure Island, it is responsible for the name given the lake and the community of Mindemoya itself. According to one legend, the infamous trickster Nanabush was on the run one day with his grandmother across his shoulder. On his journey north he tripped, and his grandmother sailed through the air to land on her hands and knees in the centre of the lake. She turned into an island, and the lake was named after her: Mindemoya, “the old woman”.
Her profile is best seen from the eastern shore of the lake, just off Hwy 551, where there is a small picnic area and beach.
Mindemoya has a big grocery store and lots of fun shops to check out. Island Outfitters Home Decor Shop is my fave!

LAKE MANITOU—The largest lake within a fresh water island in the world, with 90 miles of shoreline and depths of up to 162 feet, Lake Manitou is a sublime, nearly unfathomable sprawl of blue.
Perhaps this is why it is named “Manitou,” the Ojibwe word for a spirit or power being, in this case apparently referring to the greatest spirit of all, Kitche Manitou. But Manitou, for all its size, is not an ominous or forbidding lake. Over the years, its surface has been ably plied by everything from canoes and ferries to runabouts and personal watercraft and its exceptionally clear, clean waters offer a paradise for swimmers, anglers and scuba divers.

Hello! We are Bridget and Matthew. Bridget was born and raised in Toronto, where she developed a love for arts and culture. Her passion led her to NYC to study music. She then returned back home to study and work in advertising, at which point she met Matthew in the city. Matthew grew up on a 100 acre farm in the Grey County region, before attending schools in Ottawa and Toronto. He then moved to Vancouver for work, until an opportunity arose to start his new career on Manitoulin Island in 2010. In 2016, Bridget and Matthew opened The Mutchmor, combining their individual desires of opening a cafe and gallery. When not working, Bridget and Matthew love to travel around the world and have visited numerous cities in North America and many countries in both Central and South America, along with Africa, Asia and Europe. However, when they return to Manitoulin Island, they always realize how much beauty there is in their own backyard. They said "I do" on the Providence Bay Beach in the spring of 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic... needless to say, none of the guests showed up. Through the experiences of living in both the big cities and small villages, and exploring the world, Bridget and Matthew hope to share how this has shaped their lives with what they offer in The Mutchmor.
We would like to thank you for supporting our businesses, The Mutchmor, Peace Cafe and Lake Huron Fish + Chips. Our goal is to bring community together through art, culture, food, coffee and friends. Located just steps from the beautiful Providence Bay beach, our 10,000 square foot historical building is a Manitoulin Island staple for locals and visitors.
