For Extra Mileage

St. Joseph Island Loop – Add approximately 140 km to the North Shore Loop by taking a spin around St. Jo. Like all islands, time stand still and you will be lucky to see another sled on this route. Lots of wildlife and 2 ice crossings keep things interesting.

The International Ice Bridge to Drummond Island is commonly referred to as the Christmas Tree Trail. This 18 km (11 mile) ride usually opens mid January and closes late March (depending on ice conditions) and spans between St. Joseph Island and the Drummond Island Yacht Haven Dock.

Old Christmas trees line the entire route, placed every 1/8th mile, with reflectivity added for safe night crossings.

Riders in both directions must check in with Canadian and US customs and carry the appropriate identification for international border crossings.
