About Drummond Island

It's not easy to describe Drummond Island without sounding cliche. The Island boasts a certain charm that is immediately evident upon arrival, but difficult to capture with words. Find information about specific attractions and events in the activities section of this site. For a cliched description of the island's atmosphere, read on. Things tend to move a little slower on the Island. People stop to chat about life, strangers honk and wave from their cars. Fishing reports regularly supersede news about the Dow Jones Industrials or the S & P 500. Rush hour traffic typically involves leaving 15 minutes early to get a spot on the ferry, rather than sitting in gridlock for an hour. Beautiful sunsets and frolicking wildlife are commonplace, but hardly mundane.

Located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Drummond Island is approximately an hour's drive from the Mackinac Bridge. It is accessible by car, plane or boat.

Talk about the weather, even if you plan to spend the day indoors. Make a point to see the sunset before you leave.

Call an old friend and take the fishing trip you've been putting off for too long. Plan a romantic getaway and enjoy the seclusion of truly private space. Let your children swim in the lake instead of spending another muggy day at an overpriced amusement park. Host your family reunion on neutral territory.

The benefits of nature and the outdoors for you and your family is priceless. Research has shown that time in green areas is important to overall health and well-being of children as well as adults. Take some time this year to have a real vacation full of nature, fresh air and fresh water.

On your next trip, emphasize the quality of time spent on vacation, rather than the quantity of events on a guided tour. Trade bright lights, ornate hotel rooms, and concierges for Northern Lights, kayaks and local color. Let the setting and scenery of Drummond Island take care of you -- it will provide all that you really need.
