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.
Finish your long weekend with a day exploring Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory, the largest Nation in Ontario by area. Take a hike on the Bebamikawe Trail, step into a guided cultural or culinary experience, visit Mishibinijma Art Gallery, and bring some of the Island home with you from the Wiky gift shop.
After the Powwow, head over to Bayside Resort on Manitowaning Bay in Wikwemikong for a one or two-night stay. The only things you'll need to bring are food, friends and slippers to cozy up in! Each log cabin comes equipped with everything you need for a relaxing getaway.
Your first task once you’re over the swing bridge? Get onto Island Time with a stop at Manitoulin Brewing Company in Little Current. The Company’s Silo & Patio serves up all their brews on tap, as well as non-alcoholic beverages, and The Brewgers food truck burgers are not to be missed.
Settle into your luxury eco-dome in Whitefish River First Nation. Disconnect from the hustle and relax in your private geodome under the stars, watching the sunset over the La Cloche Mountains. You can plan a guided hike or boat tour with your hosts as well!
