What a treasure Perivale Gallery is! We have been wanting to visit for some time now, and finally had the opportunity yesterday. Well curated and represented, the gallery provides the work a host of diverse artists and artisans. The North is prominently on display in various forms: wall art, sculpture, jewelry, pottery.... all worthy of a second, third look, and even permanent gazing in the perfect spot in your home. The gardens at Perivale are equally impressive. Stroll through and the peaceful serenity will envelop you. If you are on the beautiful island Manitoulin, stop in. If you are not, make the trip ... it is so worth it!

Great walk and beautiful view. The path is wide open with very few tricky spots for the walk. 4 or 5 great views from the top overlooking the whole north side of the island.

This is a day use only park; there is no camping available. The website indicated that the Visitor Centre would be open weekends in May and June and all week during July and August, but just a heads up that this was not the case during our visit. The Visitor Centre was closed when we were there, and the washrooms were closed as well (the sign indicated that they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday). Pack whatever you need to eat or drink, as there were no options to purchase anything. Also note that there are no garbage cans, so you bring out whatever you take in. There is a very nominal fee; the most expensive walk in fee is $2 for an adult 18+. There was some flooding when we visited, so not all of the trails were available. We did the Inland Alvar trail, which is about a 5 km loop. There were a few spots where you are by the water (Misery Bay and Lake Huron). The water was so clear! It's an easy walk and the trail is well marked. If you want to be along the water for a long stretch, it looks like the 8 km Coastal Alvar trail follows Lake Huron for about 3 1/2 km. Definitely worth a visit!

We always like the views that we get and the hiking trails on the Island. Our second time here , the first time we went swimming but this time we didn’t have as much time to swim. Kids loved it

We stopped here on a Wednesday afternoon, while driving from South Baymouth to Little Current. It’s a great place for a break, with a beautiful view of the surrounding islands. There were only a couple of other people there, so you won’t feel crowded. The store looks small from the outside, but is actually huge inside. The quality of the crafts and sculptures, etc. is outstanding. There are plenty of beautiful items to purchase, and I left with a few. Definitely worth stopping at.

Stumbled across this place looking for a rainy day activity, and it was a great stroke of luck I did. Went twice in two days. The Belgian Chocolate Cupcake was the best cupcake I’ve ever had! Loved the Iced Chocolate too, which to me rivalled the iced sipping chocolate at Vosges. Everything we tried - including chocolate covered macaroons, brownies, and krispie squares - was delicious
