From a clifftop lookout point on Highway 6 called "Ten Mile Point", a few kilometers south of Sheguiandah and in a travel distance of about 35 min from "Deer Trail Cabins" there is an excellent view over part of Georgian Bay to Killarney Provincial Park on the mainland. |

| There are several waterfalls on the island which are worth visiting, including the "Bridal Veil Falls" at Kagawong, located about 35 minutes west of "Deer Trail Cabins". A well marked hiking trail and path lead up to the "Bridal Veil Falls" coming from the nearby docks. A couple of bridges allow you to cross over to the other side of the river if you prefer a really steep climb! the Falls are very attractive and one can swim in the pool below. |  |
| Manitoulin has many hiking trails which take anywhere from a couple of hours to a full day, requiring various degrees of fitness.
For the casual walker, there are nature trails and boardwalks in and around many of the quaint little towns.
"Cup and Saucer Hiking Trail" can be found about 18 km west of Little Current at the junction of Highway 540 and the Bidwell Road. With its 2 km of dramatic 70 metre cliffs and breathtaking views, up to 12 km of hiking trails, and the 2 km adventure trail, it is one of the most popular trails in Ontario. |
