Learn more about the unique habitats on WIFN. Walpole Island is west of Wallaceburg, ON. Take Duffern Rd (Hwy 40 which becomes Hwy 32) west out of Wallaceburg and follow the signs toward the Walpole Island Ferry. When you cross the bridge on to Walpole Island the Arena is on the right. >From the US go to Algonac, MI and then get on the Walpole Island/Algonac Ferry. The fee is $6.00 and you will need a passport or enhanced driver's licence for the border crossing. Turn right (south) out of customs and go to Tecumseh Rd and turn left (east) and follow this until you see the Arena on your left. Note: If it is foggy in the morning US visitors may need to take the Sombra Ferry at Marine City which is north of Algonac. You would then go south along the river road until it ends. Turn right (west) a short distance to WIFN. Come join us, Carl A. Pascoe & Rachel A.
