Ice
Bridge
To
Canada
One
of the
truly
unique
features
of
Drummond
Island
snowmobiling
is the
International
Ice
Bridge
To
Canada.
Sometime
during
the
Christmas
holiday,
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.
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.
Eventually
another
tree
trail
marks
a
route
to the
Canadian
mainland
across
the
North
Channel
--
about
15
miles.
These
"bridges"
open
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.
