Canadian shore of Lake Huron: recommendations?

I'm considering a drive from Detroit to Buffalo NY the long way, around the northern end of Lake Huron. I'll start by driving north along the Michigan shore of Lake Huron - I'm fairly familiar with that part of the trip. I'm interested in recommendations for interesting areas on the Canadian part of the drive. For example, what should I see between Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury? I've been to the Bruce Peninsula, and I could be very happy going there again; what about the eastern shore of Georgian Bay, south from Sudbury?

I'm mostly interested in landscapes for this trip, but I'm open to other opportunities as well.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Mark;
The great landscapes are just north of Sault Ste. Marie; turn left instead of right. In Sault Ste. Marie, go to Crimson Ridge Golf Club and ask to take a shot from the 18th hole looking east.
Between Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury (about 3 hours of driving) there are bits and pieces of interesting landscape but no great vistas, occasional small lakes on the way. Also one or two interesting old abandoned houses (at least they were still there a year ago).
You will note from any map that Sudbury is a fair way in from any water. There are some nice views in the city (which contains over 300 lakes within the city limits), including some industrial shots of the nickel smelter. This is where I am located, send me a pm about your itinerary, how much time you have and when you are going to be in Sudbury.
From Sudbury to Parry Sound (about an hour and a half), there is typical northern Ontario bush and Cambrian shield rock; beautiful to someone who lives here, not necessarily photogenic. The highway is a distance in from the lake and any photographic treks would require side trips off the main highway. Parry Sound to Toronto is two and a half hours and generally four-lane or six lane highway; again, to get to the lake would require going off and back on the highway.
Getting from the southbound highway around to the Bruce Peninsula is a bit of drive. You may wish to go through Espanola on the way to South Baymouth on Manitoulin Island and take the ferry to the Peninsula, and drive down along the lake there.
How much time do you have?
Make sure that you check the scale of the map you are looking at. Southern Ontarians do not realize that the map of northern Ontario is on a much larger scale and make incredible blunders when determining driving times.

is it one day? as mentioned above, the road itself won't be very exciting. if you had more time and didn't mind a hike, the parks of killarney and killbear are sometimes worth a detour, depending on the season. google up some images

killarney is large, but for a nice quick view of georgian bay try the small chikanishing creek loop south of the main road. fried fish in the harbour at the end of the road. total detour: 3 hours

killarney rocks and water can assume interesting hues in good light--velvia might be an idea. the attached picture was taken on downwind to runway 24; the western entrance and chikanishing creek are both visible at the top

I would highly recommend the sights along the Missisaugi River and the North Channel, especially near Blind River. I realize that I am biased, as I spent my first six years as a teacher in that community. Still, there are some beautiful places along that route to point a camera.

Cheers,

Thanks for your suggestions. If I do this in August I would take 3-4 days for the drive, so some detours off the direct route are fine.
