Drummond Island Ice Bridge – U.S. Customs and Border Protection Information
Travelers entering the U.S. from Canada via the ice bridge must report directly to the reporting station on Drummond Island during the established hours of 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM Wednesday through Sunday. The Drummond Island reporting station is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The official CBP Reporting Station is located at the Drummond Island Yacht Haven Dock. Entering the U.S. via the ice bridge at any other location or outside of these hours is prohibited.

One of the truly unique features of Drummond Island snowmobiling is the International Ice Bridge To Canada. Sometime during the middle of winter, ice around Drummond Island hardens to a safe depth, and Christmas trees begin appearing at the big dock on the island. On a particular Saturday snowmobilers get together to create an ice highway — marked by Christmas trees and reflectors — that leads over the horizon to the nearest Canadian Island, St. Joseph Island.

Then the fun begins. Snowmobiles travel the ice safely, using the markers for night travel or in snowy weather to connect thousands of miles of trails in Ontario.

The “ice bridge” opens up a whole new geography of high granite outcroppings and hundreds of inland lakes and streams. The clearly marked and well used trail can either bring you to warm Canadian hospitality, or let you enjoy a day gliding among the hundreds of islands and bays of the North Channel. The ice bridge is a favorite local route, and if you ask anyone, they’ll be glad to share the secret.
