Perhaps the most notorious feature of Chippewa County is the Soo Locks, which are an extremely popular site amongst both locals and visitors. The Locks were developed to help boats navigate through the changes between Lake Superior and Lake Huron.The Locks now see more than 5,000 vessels pass through it every year! Another popular attraction in Chippewa County is Drummond Island, which is actually the second largest freshwater island in the United States! This island provides visitors with a beautiful landscape and plenty of outdoor activities including ATVing, boating, fishing and over 100 miles of snowmobile trails. In the winter, you can actually snowmobile over onto the Canadian size of the water (with special permission and appropriate documentation ahead of time). The Munuscong Bay is another popular area in Chippewa County, and is open for hunting, boating and bird watching. The area is known for its duck hunting, with species including mallards, divers and green-winged teal ducks; Munuscong Bay is also well known for its ice fishing during the winter months.
