Looking out past the breakwater from the government docks at Honora Bay on the northern shores of Manitoulin Island.
The North Channel separates Manitoulin from the mainland and offers visitors some of the most beautiful scenery in Ontario. In the past, the North Channel was a busy commercial thoroughfare. Coastal steamers belonging to the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Dominion Transportation Company supplied communities on either side of the channel and beyond it into Lake Superior. Logging and lumber were the first commercial enterprises, followed by fishing and then tourism.
Today people come for the scenery, countless uninhabited islands, clear water, clean air and beautiful sunsets.
