To break up the trip a little you may consider heading for the Bruce Peninsula and taking the ferry to Manitoulin Island. Largest fresh water Island in the world. Lots of campgrounds. At Little Current you leave the Island on the largest swing bridge in the world, at least it used to be, and drive through a very scenic example of the Canadian Shield to Espanola where you get back on to the main hwy heading west, Canada;s No 1 or as we used to call it 17 . When you get to Sault Ste Marie, go over to the locks just above St. Mary's River and with any luck you will see the locks work with a 600 foot plus great lakes freighter in it.
There really are many places to see, the ones above take little or no time off your drive and are interesting.
