Things to do on Drummond Island

Dubbed the "Gem of the Huron" for a thousand good reasons, Drummond Island is famous for both its outdoor pursuits and pristine beauty.

• Explore over 100 miles of ATV and ORV trails, kayak the Heritage Water Trail around the island, or scuba dive to view multiple shipwrecks.
• Try birdwatching during our migration seasons, hunt for whitetail deer,  bear, and small game, or fish for pike, perch, and walleye. 
• Immerse yourself in the peace and tranquility by strolling along one of our beaches looking for puddingstones or rent an ORV to take to the fossil ledges for a rare geological experience.
• Soak in the natural surroundings right from your deck chair of your vacation rental home, or spend a night camping near the lake under the stars at one of our campgrounds or RV sites.
• Boaters often call Drummond Island their home port at one of our marinas.
• Discover why Pure Michigan rated us "the #1 place to snowmobile", try ice fishing, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing during the winter months.

Whatever your desire, every season is the perfect reason to experience "island life".  Come see why this is one of the best vacation spots in Northern Michigan.
