ACTIVITIES

The island has a wide range of activities and adventures for the young and old.

CYCLING ON MANITOULIN

Manitoulin Island's picturesque back roads are popular with cyclists. Vehicle traffic is generally light, although cyclists are warned to let ferry traffic get well ahead of them on Highway 6, and to watch out for unique features like logging trucks, slow-moving farm vehicles, and the occasional cattle drive

and yes, we have hills!
At least two require caution going down and considerable stamina going up. One Highway 6, at Ten Mile Point, the hill going south is 1620 m (5500 ft) long with a 5% grade. On Highway 540, the east side of the West Bay/M'Chigeeng hill is 900m (3000 ft) long with a 5 - 8% grade. Between West Bay and Kagawong there are four hills with an 8% grade of 300 m (900 ft), 360 m (100 ft), 423 m (1200 ft), and 540 m (1400 ft) respectively.

HUNTING

Manitoulin has excellent hunting for small game and waterfowl. Each year there are about 3,000 deer taken. The annual hunt is held Monday thru Sunday of the third week in November.

Bow season begins the first Saturday in October and continues to the Friday before the gun hunt.

Early in December, there is a three day black powder season and extended archery hunt.

FISHING

Manitoulin has an abundance of fishing. There are many fishing holes all over the island. If fishing off a pier or the shoreline isn't to your liking then there are several charters specializing in down rigging for salmon or just a leisure cruise around the lakes.
