Crossing Through Canada


Be Sure to Bring


When crossing the U.S. / Canada border, the proper documents are recommended. 
  • They include the US Passport, US Passport Card, Enhanced Driver’s License or Enhanced ID Card or NEXUS Card.
    • Utilizing an approved travel document is highly recommended for travelers.
    • Utilizing these documents will ease the inspection process and reduce wait times at the border because the information can be scanned and does not have to be entered manually. If you have a passport, please bring it with. 
  • Cell phone if you have one.
    • We have a Verizon cell tower nearby.
    • Please note: You will lose service while crossing through Canada shortly after clearing customs unless you have an international calling plan.

BE SURE NOT TO BRING:
  • Firewood
  • Guns or pepper spray
  • Live minnows or leeches

Fishing in Canada


Guests fishing in Canada during open water DO NOT need to report into customs if they do not touch land, anchor or come in contact with another vessel (This includes shore lunch.)

If you plan to go on land (Ice is considered land,)  you must complete your ArriveCan submission then call CANPASS Prior to departing the United States.

CANPASS
  • The boat owner/operator is in charge of the boat and he or she must report all passengers and goods on board the vessel to the CBSA. Boat owners/operators are responsible for reporting themselves, their crew and passengers to a telephone reporting centre (TRC) by calling 1-888-CANPASS (1-888-226-7277) at least 30 minutes before but no more than 4 hours prior to the boat's estimated time of arrival at a designated marine reporting site in Canada.
  • The only CANPASS reporting site at the NWA is Cyclone Island, Ontario. 
  • All passengers on board the vessel must be CANPASS participants.  
  • Passengers will be asked to provide ArriveCan QR code. You can add all passengers on one submission per vessel.

Reporting into the United States


When checking back into the United States on your way to visit us, there are 3 ways to clear US Customs:
  1. Stop at Jim's Corner and call in using the OARS phone
  2. You can also download the ROAM app to your device
  3. Or use the iPad provided at Sunset Lodge
PLEASE NOTE: It is YOUR responsibility to report back into the US using one of these 3 methods.
