Every autumn, nature puts on a brilliant show of color on Drummond Island. From bright yellows to vibrant reds, the leaves transform, showing their rich and intense hues. Every year, people flock here to take in the fall foliage, to catch a glimpse of nature’s splendor.

Now they come not only for the colors - they come for the Festival too!

Saturday Highlights:

The Taste of Drummond:
This year’s theme is Barbeque! Featured vendors will be Bayside Dining, Bear Track Restaurant, Chuck’s Place, Claudia’s Delectables, Deb’s Island Restaurant, Esther’s Catering, Gourmet Galley, Lumberjack Delights, Pins Bar & Grille, Sune’s Grocery and The Northwood.

We will be offering a selection of wines paired to compliment the dishes being offered at the Taste of Drummond. Wine selections will be made by an experienced sommelier.

Lily’s Seafood Grill & Brewery:
Scott Morton and family of Lily’s Seafood Grill & Brewery of Royal Oak will host the Brewery Beers booth at the Festival again in 2010. Lily’s will be located in the Big Tent and will feature microbrews named after Drummond Island and its outlying islands. http://www.lilysseafood.com

Live Music!
Drummond Island has its share of talented folk and these artists fall at the top of that list! Music for the weekend will be provided by: Bob Newell, Bill Shaul, Perry Swy & Lauren Deal - The Island Quartet; Cindy Launderville McElroy; LuAnn Corrion; Tim Van Alstine and Gary Van Alstine.

Oh, and don’t forget our Headliners - the Piano-Party Dueling Pianos and Karrie Anne & Lost Creek!

What does Captain Ivan do when not on a charter? Why he goes fishing! This morning was with his son and friends. The lake was lumpy, the ribbing continued and, as you can see, the fishing was great!

The Rock Golf Course - Opens May 1st - $35 Unlimited Golf w/cart

2008 Golf Digest 4-Star Rating Best Places to Play”

Island greens. Long tree-lined fairways. Dog-legs left . Dog-legs right. Abundant wildlife - deer that actually come into play on some holes. The people who love this course play to all levels. They like The Rock because it’s an experience, not just a round of golf.

This emerald was cut out of limestone and is trimmed by hardwood and cedar, crafting each fairway separately over 400 acres. Play on The Rock is controlled. Each group of golfers is in their own game, and virtually isolated from other golfers. Each hole has four tees and therefore, four possible challenges to choose from.

“I like The Rock. The holes are isolated so you can golf in scenic seclusion. The ponds, lakes and waterfalls are too pretty to be called water hazards.”
— Rick Sylvain, former Michigan Travel Editor, Detroit Free Press.

The Rock participates in the Audobon Cooperative Sanctuary System, proof that this isn’t just one of the best golf courses in the Midwest–this is a thriving wildlife habitat as well.

For those people who love to visit lighthouses, a tour of the DeTour Reef Lighthouse is indeed an outstanding experience.  It is rare that lighthouse lovers get to visit an offshore lighthouse let alone one that is not on an island but rather is built on a 60’ by 60’ crib sitting about one mile offshore in 24’ of water and is still an active aid to navigation.

In 2003 and 2004, $1.2 million was spent on restoring the DeTour Reef Light to its original 1931 condition, and, in your time spent here, you will get to see it all, and photograph it all, while walking in the footsteps of the original lighthouse keepers.  We hope you enjoy your tour as much we know we will enjoy taking you on this adventure.

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.
