DeTour Village

Today, DeTour Village is a popular destination for paddlers, anglers, boating enthusiasts, and those who enjoy watching the mighty freighters pass through the passage. Onshore, tourists flock to DeTour for bird watching, hiking, and wintertime pursuits, like snowmobiling and snowshoeing.  The DeTour Reef Lighthouse, located one mile offshore, also attracts visitors seeking to enjoy a summer Saturday tour.

DeTour is also home to another critical transportation asset: the Drummond Island Ferry dock. Boats capable of holding as many as 32 vehicles make the one-mile trip across the St. Marys River between DeTour and Drummond Island on an hourly basis. More than 400,000 passenger crossings are made annually.
