At the junction of the Aux Sables and Spanish rivers, Massey calls
itself the "heart of the white pine tourist area" (the recreation
district west of Sudbury). Chutes Provincial Park offers camping, a
sandy beach, and easy hiking trails. Massey Area Museum focuses on the
lumbering boom of the 1870's to the 1920's, and also displays
fluorescent minerals and the family trees of 55 Massey area pioneer
families.

The island's largest community, Little Current sits at the North
Channel's narrowest gap. Once a Great Lakes lumber port, this "port of
the north" now attracts some 3,000 pleasure boats every summer. Four
days of concerts craft shows, parades, and fireworks mark Haweater
Weekend in August. (People born on the island are affectionately known
as Haweaters, a reference to the tart, scarlet haws, or hawberries,
that flourish on the island's hawthorn trees.)
Well-heeled boating enthusiasts of the 1880's first discovered this
Georgian Bay anchorage, where luxury yachts are still a common sight.
Just 10km west of the provincial park, this charming outpost village
has been popular with motoring vacationers since the first road link
was built in the 1960's. Local restaurants specialize in homestyle
meals. Displays in the local museum describe the community's evolution
from trading post, through logging town and commercial fishing centre,
to tourist mecca and glass making town.
Kagawong - "where mists rise from the falling waters" - is the
descriptive Ojibwe name for this north shore community. In the coolness
of the early morning, mists rising over the tree tops mark the path of
the Kagawong River as it cascades over Bridal Veil Falls and winds its
way into the North Channel.
