Manitoulin Island, Freshwater island in Lake Huron, Canada.
The island spans 2,766 square kilometers and contains over 100 inland lakes, with limestone cliffs bordering its northern edge.
Archaeological findings at Sheguiandah site indicate human presence dating back to 10,000 BC, marking early Paleo-Indian settlements on the island.
Six Anishinaabe First Nations maintain their territories on the island, with Wikwemikong being the largest unceded Indigenous reserve in Canada.
Visitors can reach the island through the Little Current Swing Bridge year-round or take the Chi-Cheemaun ferry from Tobermory between May and October.
Lake Manitou within the island holds the distinction of being the largest lake situated on a freshwater island in the world.
