Hiking
Bridal Veil Falls
A great little hike that starts with a waterfall. It has a couple of trails near by that should take you 15 - 20 minutes to walk round trip.
The candy store Boo-Bah-Lou Candy Corner is also just down the street and is worth a visit if you're there. They also have ice-cream!
Cup and Saucer Nature Reserve
A short but scenic hike that has an overlook that provides great views of Manitoulin Island, Lake Huron, and smaller lakes on Manitoulin. The trail is 5km long round trip and should take one to one and a half hours to hike.

Sights & Attractions
Little Current Swing Bridge
Cool Shops and Local Hot Spots
Fishy Fishy Bang Bang
One of Steve's favourite spots. A great spot to pick up live bait, tackle or ammo for hunting. If you're visiting Steve wouldn't mind if you brought him back some live bait or a new lure ;)
Barney's Bargain Barn
One of Emily and Anitas favorite spots to visit. Barneys is a discount store that sells expired or nearly expired food items for pennies on the dollar. They also have a large Lindor selection that is cheap and not close to expiring. An excellent spot if you want to pick up an unhealthy amount of really good chocolate for a really good price (their Lindor bark is really really good). If you're in little current take some time to check it out along with their free tent next to the store!
Farquhar's Dairy Bar
One of Alexs favorite spots to visit while in little current. (Farquads as he likes to call it) is an excellent spot to get an ice-cream, frozen yogurt or a milk shake. While their prices aren't the cheapest they make up for it with quality and having an incredibly large selection of flavours.
Manitoulin Brewing Company
Located in little current it's a decent spot to pick up and try some of the local beers while grabbing a quick bite to eat.
Loco Beanz Coffee House
A local coffee chain on Manitoulin Island that serves excellent high quality coffee.
Gore Bay
Gore Bay Harbour Centre
While a little ways off from Ireson Gore Bay is an excellent spot to visit if you have time. The marina is an interesting place to walk around and it has it's own brewery and a few excellent restaurants.
Split Rail Brewing Co.
A great brewery on the Gore Bay water front. They have several excellent brews on tap.
Outdoor activities
Manitoulin and the surrounding area has lots of fishing. Ireson Island used to be an anglers get away at one point! If you want to do any fishing while you are up you're more than welcome to. You are responsible for brining your own equipment and making sure you have the necessary licenses.
