'''Manitoulin Island''' is large island in northern Lake Huron in the province of Ontario, Canada. It is the largest fresh water island in the world.

Get in

There are two ways to get to Manitoulin Island: by car, or by boat. The swing bridge at Little Current, at the northeastern tip of the island, connects Manitoulin to Ontario's highway network. From there, it is a little less than 2 hours by car to Sudbury and almost six hours by car to Toronto.

From mid-May to mid-October, a ferry called the MS Chi-Cheemaun [http://www.ontarioferries.com/chi/english/index.html] travels from Tobermory to the village of South Baymouth, at the southeastern tip of the island.

Get around

There are lots of cyclists on the Island but there are no trail systems (Trans Canada Trail). Please ensure that safety procedures are taken as you will have to share the road with cars. There are extensive back roads that are quieter and less traveled than the main highway roads.
