It's not easy to describe Drummond Island without sounding cliché.
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 clichéd 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. The Island is an ideal alternative to traditional,
Disney World vacations, providing families and couples with a breathtaking
setting to relax and enjoy the rustic beauty that defines the area.
When you visit this year-round vacation spot, cherish your unscheduled
time. Walk through the woods and enjoy the fall colors. Swap stories
on a boat and enjoy waiting for the fish to bite. 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.
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.
