There are three ways to get on the Island; the conventional driving route through highway 6 that leads to the world famous swing bridge, the MS Chi-Cheemaun (Ojibwe for “big Canoe”) from May to October-- which makes many daily trips between Tobermory and South Baymouth, and by the two airports located in Gore Bay, and between Little Current and Manitowaning. In the summer and fall months Manitoulin’s population of 12000 grows exponentially because of the excellent fishing spots, hiking trails, and bar-none some of the world’s greatest hunting. For those who love adventure, communities also host many different festivals during the summer and also offer great cultural experiences such as Native Pow-Wows.
