Two of the most notable landmarks of this Great Lakes region in the Straits of Mackinac, is Lake Huron itself, as it is the world's largest freshwater lake; and the other natural beauty is a series of over 100 inland lakes, the most notable being Manitoulin island that encompasses Treasure Island. In addition, for history buffs, Georgian Bay is the largest bay on Lake Huron and has a vast historic shipping legacy of lore and legends, and it contains 212 of the 1000 sunken vessels that are in the lake. Many of the beautiful beaches of this region, with their pebbled-sand shores and crystal-clear water coves, have given it the local name of "Canada's Caribbean"!
