Hey Josh & Jase — Drummond Island is calling Eh! ❄️🧊🚢 Want to see the easternmost point of the U.P.? You gotta take the ferry across the St. Marys River. And seriously, listen to the ice clinking against the ferry hull — there’s nothing else like it. When the lake freezes just right, we host a 12-mile ice bridge to Canada, marked by a tree line the locals put in. Snowshoe, snowmobile, ice fishing, or just take it all in — this is winter in Da U.P. the way it’s meant to be. Think Josh & Jase should check it out? Share this post and tag ’em!
