I always look forward to summer visit to Manitoulin Island from Toronto.

I love vacationing on Manitoulin island in the summer

Fun fact: (from Wikipedia) Manitoulin Island has 108 freshwater lakes, some of which have their own islands. Lake Manitou, at 104 km2 (40 sq mi), is the largest lake in a freshwater island in the world, and Treasure Island in Lake Mindemoya is the largest island in a lake on an island in a lake in the world.

So Beautiful ❤ living in a concrete jungle is killing my soul. God Bless

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you.

Very informative with photography and video illustrating the narrative content beautifully, thank you!

Thank You !

Just west of Manitoulin Island is Drummond Island. Drummond was British held with a military base before and during the War 1812. In 1819, five years after the war ended, Drummond was awarded to Americans. Many of the residences decided to leave and go to British North American...British soldiers, natives, Metis, French trappers mostly. Many left for Penetanguishene 140 km NW of Toronto) Ontario where a naval base was being built and it had a strong French (and still does) community.

Spent a lot of time on the Bruce in the mid/late 90’s. What a beautiful region of Ontario. Great place for orchid lovers too!

I'm a big fan of all your videos. Thank you.

Outstanding! Nice work.

I know a former conservation officer from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources who told me that when the MNR has a problem black bear, they tranquilize it and ship it off to Manitoulin Island, because the island doesn't have a lot of people living there, so the bear has little if any human contact. And the bigger black bears are the ones that usually cause the most trouble.

Great video, thanks for creating it.

I can imagine how cold that water is because when I went for a swim in Moosehead Lake in Maine in July one year it was freezing but compared to the Great Lakes it’s just a spit of water and that doesn’t heat up very much so I can just imagine how long it would take to heat one of these giant lakes, really inland seas !! Thanks for a wonderful video, really enjoyed it !!

Thank You for your visit to the Island.

Very informative & Beautiful!

Awesome footage thank you for sharing these are special places

Thank you for the great vid! I live on the Peninsula shore and would like to remind people not to litter (particularly balloons). Every year I pick up hundreds of pounds of plastic off the shore.

What a great video! I really enjoyed it. I want to travel there and learn more. I’m from Chicago myself, so I’m not too far.

Very good, very professional. Thank you.

Thanks for this, I appreciate your efforts and enjoyed watching it.

Thank you for making this video very informative for an awesome area. 👍👍

Thanks for putting together this video.

Awesome video. Really enjoyed it!! Thanks! Love knowledge

Looks like prime Sasquatch country. 👍👣🇨🇦

Great content. Keep it up.

Very interesting and informative, thank you for making this video! I will look a little closer on my next local walk here in Central Mass.

Thanks for this

Great videos.

My Great G Grandfather lived on Bruce Peninsula 1870.

Misery Bay…sounds like my home away from home.

very interesting, thanks

fascinating!

So if you don't understand the water is very cold all year long.

Some of this I've never known, even being a Michigan resident, born & still live here... of course I've obviously known of their geographical location, but just not any pertinent information, concerning their appearance excetera. Interesting :-)

Look at the Grouse, look at the Grouse!... if you are there in mid October! The rest of the warm season... stay in the wind or be devoured. Just like the UP.

In the 1960s I rode with my family to Manitoulin on a car ferry from Alpena, Michigan. Any idea what boat that would have been? Probably 1966-1969.

There was no ice movement at all from north -east to south west. The west facing side of the peninsula has very rugged shore line, no sign of ice at all. Sharp edged rocks, high cliffs. However the west side ( Lake Huron ) is all smooth, literally washed clean. Supersonic winds cleaned it off and built it up on the east side. ( just like the way winds building snow dunes ) Hudson Bay is see level, zero meter, the peninsula is from about 180 to 260M if i remember correctly. What would make the ice climb uphill ? Check out Plasma Geology !!!

Did you find any Opuntia fragilis here?

Really have enjoyed your presentations of the geologic and floral ecology on the Great Lakes. Two years ago I sailed up to the Bruce Peninsula with the hopes of getting up to Manitoulin Island. Unfortunately the auxiliary engine had problems and we didn't get all the way to the Island. Your discussion of the ecology of the area has renew my desire to try again, once the pandemic recedes.

Looks interesting. If only there were 1 week to 10 day small ship cruises along the northern shores of Lakes Huron and Superior with informative hikes and overnight moorages in inlets or bays.

An additional 50 videos can be seen on the Northern Forest Atlas website here: northernforestatlas.org

I was born a Haweater!

Misinformation alert: around the one minute mark, it is stated that the cedar trees are "Northern White Cedar". There is no such tree. Those would be Eastern White Cedar. You're welcome.

nothing has been here for millions of years, the earth is only 6,000 years old, read your Bible!
