life jackets and equipment storage lockers. See our

Identification - Border Crossings
You should have the following identification with you for crossing
the border both into Canada (Canada Customs) and back to the United
States (US Customs): a valid driver's license and your birth certificate.
In
addition, if you have children traveling with you, please be sure to
have parental permission in writing and their birth certificate.
While it is not yet mandatory to have a passport, if you have one, it is recommended
that you bring it, as a current passport makes cross-border travel
into any country less difficult. At this point you do not and
will not NEED a passport to enter Canada. Beginning June 1,
2009, current US law specifies that you will require a passport to
RE-ENTER the United States. (This means that you many readily
enter Canada with the above recommended ID, but you will not be
allowed re-entry into the US without a passport.)
If you have concerns about your legal ability to
cross the border, we recommend you visit Canada's tourism web site at
www.canadawelcomesyou.net,
or call us for assistance. Further, for information about
crossing the border back into the United States, please visit the US
Department of Homeland Security's US Customs and Border Protection
web site at www.cbp.gov.
