Serenity! I believe that is the best part of Manitoulin Island. This morning the wild rabbits chased each other through the campground and the butterflies were everywhere. Within one hour of placing the bird feeders, you can spot multiple hummingbirds squabling for the sweet nectar. Manitoulin is relatively untouched by man and at the very least by commercialism. It is an amazing gettaway. We meet so many different people. A couple from New Zealand arrived counting numerous stories of their worldly travels.
Cycling is very popular here. Now that most of the main highways are freshly paved with wide shoulders, I assume we will welcome many more bicyclists. I suggest the Bruce Passage Ride coming up soon in early June. Actually the MICA (Manitoulin Island Cycling Advocates) have done a great job of putting together an updated map of trails and routes for all activists. If you want off-road cycling Mclean's Park just up the road from us is an option as is Aundeck Omni Kaning Trail.
Personally, I prefer to just walk the trails. The Cup and Saucer is a favourite. Although, Bridal Veil Falls, Mclean's Park, are just a few that deserve mention. Look up the Ontario Trails Council for all the information you need to plan your next Manitoulin adventure.
