The ICE BRIDGE TO CANADA IS NOW OPEN!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Travelers entering from Canada must report directly to the reporting station on Drummond Island during the established hours of 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The number of days that the reporting station is open has been reduced due to the low volume of people using the ice bridge. The Drummond Island reporting station will be closed this year Monday through Thursday. The official CBP Reporting Station is located at the Drummond Island Yacht Haven Dock.

Entering at any other location or outside of these hours is prohibited and violators could be assessed a $5000 fine.

Planning ahead can expedite your crossing:

• Proper documents include passports, passport cards, enhanced driverÂ’s licenses and CBPÂ’s Trusted Traveler Cards – NEXUS, FAST and SENTRI.
• Be prepared to declare merchandise purchased or acquired in Canada.
• Declare “Duty-Free goods” even if purchased at “Duty-Free” stores.
• Before leaving for the trip, obtain a “Know Before You Go” brochure available on the CBP Web page, www.cbp.gov.
• Do not attempt to bring unauthorized fruits, meats, and dairy products into the United States.
• Do not attempt to import prohibited items, such as Cuban cigars. A complete list of restricted/prohibited goods can be obtained at www.cbp.gov.

For more information about obtaining a passport or passport card, please visit the Department of State website at www.travel.state.gov.

For additional information on states issuing enhanced driverÂ’s licenses or any of CBPÂ’s trusted traveler programs, which are document options under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), please visit the CBP website at www.cbp.gov.

Everything is nice and bright and white, we picked up 8 inches of new snow through this morning. Temps today will only be in the single digits with a high of 8. For the next 10 days temps will be in the 20’s and 30’s with a chance of snow. Our trails are in the best shape they have been in for years……come up and enjoy some great riding.

The Gogebic Range Trail Authority – I have no official word on the trails today. Groomers are out trying to get the trails in shape for our busy weekend after our blast of new snowfall. All trails have a firm base and are in good shape. We have gotten word from the DNR trail 11S will be closed due to logging this winter.

The Lake Gogebic groomer’s report: Grooming is ongoing. Trails are all in good to very good condition. No problems on the trails with great riding available. Please stay on trails..riding on unmarked trails jeopardizes our trail easements!!!! Please do not ride on the railroad tracks. The law enforcement has been out patrolling so please stay on trails.

The Watersmeet groomer’s report: Grooming is ongoing. Trails are in very good condition. Come out and getting some great riding in.

Please remember groomers are out both day and night, so watch for them, Please pull over or at least slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by whenever you see them.

JUST ONE MORE REMINDER: PLEASE STAY ON MARKED TRAILS. RIDING ON UNMARKED TRAILS CAN RESULT IN THE CLUBS LOSING EASEMENT FOR THAT TRAIL AND IT CAN ALSO RESULT IN A POSSIBLE TICKET FOR YOU.
