No trip to Manitoulin Island is complete without crossing the one-lane historic swing bridge into (or out of) Little Current. If you’re lucky you might even see the bridge in action as it rotates on the hour to allow tall-masted boats to pass.

The Screaming Heads of Midlothian Castle

Some find them creepy others are fascinated—it's one of the most unique art installations in Canada. The artist, Peter Camani, welcomes visitors to wander the trails that wind through meadows, past woods and ponds, to get up close to this curious collection of sculptures—dozens of massive concrete "screaming heads" locked in a howl.

This is a private home as well as an art exhibit, so if the gate is closed just enjoy the view from the road.
