Weathered Edge Armour Stone Unique to Manitoulin Island.
Manitoulin Island is an extension of the Niagara Escarpment and Bruce Peninsula, stretching about 50 km wide and 130 km in length.
The natural beauty of Manitoulin armour stone is credited to ancient glaciers and rivers, altering the soft bedrock during the formation.
Manitoulin Island contains 108 freshwater interior lakes and is known as the “Spirit Island”. Lake Manitou is the largest lake in a freshwater island in the world.
