We recommend crossing Port Huron/Sarnia, the Bluewater Bridge, and taking Highway 21 right up the shoreline into Grey/Bruce.
Soon Americans returning home via land and sea from any international destination will need to show a passport or other secure travel document.
As of January 23, 2007, a new American law, the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), requires anyone, including U.S. citizens, entering or re-entering the United States by air to have a passport or a NEXUS card when used at a NEXUS kiosk at designated airports.
By June 1, 2009 or earlier, anyone, including U.S. citizens, entering or re-entering the United States by land and sea will need to have a passport or other appropriate secure document.
At this point, only requirements for travel by air to the United States have changed. Americans can continue to use documents such as their birth certificates and government-issued photo identification (e.g. driver’s license) to cross the Canada-U.S. border by land and sea until the WHTI is fully implemented.
