Crossing the Border: Helpful Information

Below is some helpful information for you travelers coming from the US into Canada. We hope this will make your stay with us a little easier!

Entering Canada/US: Make sure you have the proper form of documentation for entry. Check out the following links:

Time Zones: Be aware that while driving around the lake you will be entering two different time zones - Central and Eastern. Thunder Bay Ontario is in the Eastern time zone (time changes at the Pigeon River border).

Communication: Most participants will be using CB Radios. Some form of communication within your group is recommended.

Cell Phones: Dead zones exist along the north shore, most notably between Grand Marais MN and just west of the US/Canadian Border at Pigeon River.

Hands Free (Bluetooth) devices only! Talking or texting while driving is illegal in Ontario.
