Property Info

One Bear Island is a small property in the Manitou area of Georgian Bay. In classic Georgian Bay fashion, it contains a variety of habitats–forest, rock barrens, and coastal wetlands–in close proximity, which support a variety of species, including at-risk reptiles and birds. As the name suggests, it is also known as a stopover site for itinerant bears! We’re grateful to the island's owner, Peter Winnell, for choosing to maintain the island in its natural state and provide habitat for these animals forever.
