As the largest freshwater island in the world, Manitoulin Island offers a lot to explore for all kinds of travelers. Situated in Lake Huron in Ontario, the gigantic island is blessed with diverse natural attractions.

To get to know the place better, you can also learn about the local and tribal histories at Centennial Museum Sheguiandah and Ojibwe Cultural Foundation, respectively.

You can double the fun by enjoying this lovely destination with your beloved pet. For a worry-free stay with your fur baby, check out these top pet-friendly accommodations in Manitoulin Island, Canada.
