Webers

Burgers and fries, shakes and hot dogs steeped in tradition. For decades it's been a must for families heading north up Highway 11—you've got to stop at Webers. Enough people make the stop again on the way home that they built a footbridge over the highway to access it from the southside parking lot. Expect long lines but watch how fast they move—legend has it that the grill man flips up to 800 patties an hour!

The Swing Bridge

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 Schreiber Superior Picnic table is located at Schreiber Beach. After your picnic, enjoy a short hike along a portion of the Casque Isles Trail to the Parks Canada Red Chairs. Directions: Turn right out of the Golden Rail parking area onto the highway, and make an immediate right onto Winnipeg St. At the end of the street, turn right onto Scotia St. and left on Subway St. Follow the signs to the beach, turning right after going under the railway bridge, about 2 km.

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.
