Tehkummah blends wide-open farmland with shoreline vistas on the southern edge of Manitoulin Island, anchored by South Baymouth’s busy harbor. From spring through fall, the iconic MS Chi-Cheemaun ferry connects travellers and residents to Tobermory, making weekend getaways and seasonal visitors part of the local rhythm. Nature lovers gravitate to Blue Jay Creek Provincial Park, a non-operating Ontario Parks site with quiet trails, wetlands, and rich birdlife, while anglers and paddlers find long, calm reaches of water and near-empty launches to explore. Local services and updates are easy to track through the Township of Tehkummah, and the island’s small-town hospitality shows up in roadside produce stands, dockside fish fries, and friendly marinas.
Families appreciate practical school options: younger students typically attend Central Manitoulin Public School in Mindemoya, and teens commute to Manitoulin Secondary School, which offers a full slate of academics and extracurriculars. For groceries, hardware, and hospital services, residents frequently head to Little Current, keeping everyday errands simple. Year-round, the pace remains relaxed—snowy trails and quiet roads in winter give way to cycling loops, beaches, and evening ferry sunsets in summer.
