Watch the largest passenger ferry on the Great Lakes come and go from your private dock, walk our village's extensive and beautiful nature trails within a short walking distance from your cottage, visit our museum which has a "one room" schoolhouse from the 1800's and a display on the history of our village and area, or tour Manitoulin Island with biking lanes, driving tours, many towns and villages, Native culture, or just relax.
