If you are looking for a northern getaway, plan a trip to Lake Nipissing to explore the mysterious Manitou Islands (http://northernontario.travel/northeastern-ontario/the-manitou-islands).
The islands are part of an eroded volcanic pipe once formed by the violent eruption of a deep volcano and are uninhabited, despite attempts by a mining operation and a hotel to make use of the mineral rich land. Both attempts failed and legend has it the failures were due to a curse. The islands are purported to be haunted by the Aboriginal Nipissing People who used them to escape the Iroquois but perished of starvation.
