After Old Man River Falls our next stop was the B&B on Manitoulin Island The Carter House a brand new business right across the street from Bridal Veil Falls on the roadway leading into in Kagawong a village come Bay that is very quiet in the off tourist season. Manitoulin Island is the largest freshwater Island in the world located on Lake Huron, its Ojibwe name Manidoowaaling means “spirit cave” the land area of the island is 2,766 km2 surprisingly it also contains three lakes which also have Islands.
Bridal Veil Falls is a busy spot all summer and into fall but if you like myself venture early morning you will find the place all to yourself, there is a car park on the main drag Highway 540 and several sets of metal stair offer great views from the top and on the way down depositing you quickly to this view. While not the greatest flow of the trip the amphitheater it is contained in makes up for it, the falls themselves are 11m high and fed from one of Manitoulin’s interior lakes appropriately called Lake Kagawong the walk along the river to the bay is worth the effort.
I took this on Sept 19, 2021 with my D850 and Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2 Lens at 24mm, 15s, f11 ISO 64 processed in LR, PS +Topaz ,and DXO

For years, John has been telling me about this place regarding its remoteness and its spectacular beauty. I tried coming here on multiple occasions but something always ruined the plans, whether it was a freak snow storm, society shutdown, or mismatching schedules. This spring I finally made the visit along with John and Paul and this area was every bit as amazing (possibly more) as I had been told.
For a day and night, we explored various canyon passageways and marveled at some strange but spectacular striated rock formations. Luckily, a cloud patch floated its way right above us for sunset and we had quite the show by these monoliths. This scene caught my eye with three very different formations: a pyramid structure on left, a tower in the center, and a mosque-like structure on the right.
