Seasons on Drummond

No matter what time of the year you are thinking of vacationing, the island has many things to offer with each season.

Spring: Begins with the spring perch and smelt runs in April.  In May arrives the opening of Northern Pike, Walleye, and Bass seasons.  Morel mushrooms are also in abundance at this time. See the many wild flowers come to life in the Maxton Plains and Nobs. It is also the return time of the Sandhill Cranes.

Summer:  Offers many outdoor activities for the whole family. Golf at one of the 2 courses, fishing is good throughout the summer for northerns, walleye, smallmouth bass, cisco and salmon.  You'll find hiking, bike trails, canoeing, tennis courts, sand beaches, and 4-wheel drive trails.  The numerous bays and outlaying islands offer unending boating, watersports, and sightseeing activities.

Fall: Fall brings the changing of the colors in the upper penninsula.  The splendor of the orange, red, green (pines) and the yellows is breathtaking. Both big and small game hunters travel to Drummond Island to spend their hunting vacations.  If it's jumping Mallards up the Potagannissing River, stalking trophy whitetail buck, or listening to your beagle run a snowshoe rabbit, Drummond has the game and area to give you a rewarding hunt.  Drummond is an 87,000 acre hunter's haven and its over 50% state owned. Ducks, grouse, woodcock, rabbits, fox, coyote, bobcat, deer and black bear are just some of the animals that call Drummond Island their home.
