What a lovely Hike. Just beware there are no bathrooms once the Interpretive Centre is closed at the end of August. A porta-potty should be availableFull review by Rebecca C

The coastal Alvar trail is the most beautiful hike on the island. We were lucky to also spend over an hour at the visitor centre with park warden Brad, who told us all about the history of the island…Full review by Diya Maria M

We don't offer camping at Misery Bay Provincial Park, but it's a fantastic spot for a day trip. Located on Manitoulin Island, Misery Bay offers over 15 km of hiking trails, a boardwalk and a bird-viewing platform overlooking the wetland. Keen birders and casual observers will see many species of warblers that nest in the park, like Northern Parula, Black-throated Green and Yellow-rumped, flycatchers like the Eastern Kingbird, sparrows like the Clay-coloured and LeConte’s, as well as the occasional Bald Eagle or Sandhill Crane. With over 470 species of plants known to be within the park, including species at risk such as the Lakeside Daisy (Manitoulin Gold) and Pitcher’s Thistle, there is always something to see no matter what the season.
