The sun rises above Drummond Island’s eastern horizon while the rest of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula sleeps. Just a few miles from the Canadian boarder on three sides, the island is the eastern UP’s outpost for northwoods adventure. Outdoor recreation and tourism sustain the island’s economy. Committed visitors reach Drummond’s blacktop and dirt roads, ORV and foot trails by drive-on ferry service, 24-7-365.
Drummond Island is more than a drive-by adventure. The island’s 1300+ residents share 126 square miles of wild Michigan with island visitors, year-round. Summertime is pleasant on and off Lake Huron’s cool crystal water. Autumn is brisk and colorful. Winter is deep in snowy cold adventures. Spring explodes with new life. Drummond Island is a great get-away from crowds and daily concerns where access to wild nature and modern convenience offer unique opportunities in the EUP.
