Silver Water was settled in the 1870s and 80s by pioneers whose
descendants still live in the area. Beef cattle graze in fields
separated by rail fences and, in the spring, trilliums carpet the
ground beneath stands of birches. If you're on western Manitoulin on
Canada Day, stop at Silver Water for the July 1 picnic, an annual event
since 1883. The village includes a store, offering supplies from
groceries to gas, a restaurant, a community hall, and Anglican and
United Churches.
Sheshegwaning, a First Nation settled by Odawa in the first part of the
nineteenth century, lies north of Silver Water and is reached from Hwy
540. Sheshegwaning is developed a tourism initiative, the Nimkees
Hiking Trail. The total trail is over 20km long but can be enjoyed in
segments that suit your situation. There are facilities along the trail
that enable you to set up camp for either a picnic or overnight stay.
Check with the Sheshegwaning band office for more information.

community, site of a colorful annual August pow wow, and a village
