✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Drummond Island Airport (DRE/KDRM) is a county-owned general-aviation airport on Drummond Island in Michigan’s Eastern Upper Peninsula, about two miles southwest of the island’s main settlement. It has a single paved runway and serves private, charter, and seasonal recreational traffic for visitors to Lake Huron’s outdoor destinations. There is no scheduled airline service, so the airport is primarily a fly-in gateway for anglers, hunters, snowmobilers, and boaters.
💡 Local Tip
Save local taxi, lodging, and airport contact numbers offline before arrival; cell coverage can be spotty on parts of the island, and there is no ride-share or public transit at the airport.
🚖 Getting There
The airport has no public transit or regular shuttle service, so arrange a rental car, taxi, or pickup from your lodging before you arrive. Most visitors reach Drummond Island via the Drummond Island Ferry from De Tour Village, then drive a short distance to the airport. In winter, allow extra time for snow and ice and confirm that your ground transportation is still available.
