Gordon/Barrie Island offers wide-open sky, quiet shoreline roads, and a close-knit rural lifestyle with the convenience of small-town services minutes away in Gore Bay, Kagawong, and Little Current. Residents appreciate practical amenities—boat launches, snow-cleared routes, and community programming—organized through the well-run Township of Gordon/Barrie Island, which keeps locals informed about services, permits, and seasonal events.
Outdoor time here is a daily ritual. A short drive leads to the wave-washed alvar and quiet trails of Misery Bay Provincial Park, while anglers and paddlers find sheltered coves on the North Channel and open-water adventure on Lake Huron. Winter brings groomed routes for sledders and dazzling night skies. Summer weekends fill with markets, galleries, and marinas across the island, yet home remains wonderfully peaceful at day’s end.
Families are served by Rainbow District School Board, with secondary students attending Manitoulin Secondary School and many younger learners heading to Central Manitoulin Public School. For peace of mind, the region’s primary acute care is provided by Manitoulin Health Centre, with sites a short drive away. Seasonal travel is easy via the Chi-Cheemaun ferry at South Baymouth and scenic highway routes linking communities across the island.
