I am in the early stages of planning a July roadtrip out to Wisconsin. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with crossing into Canada and traveling up over the Great Lakes via the Canadian highways. If you do, was it worth the trouble?

We will probably be towing a small travel trailer (25 ft), so we will be making a lot of stops. Since we have ten days, we thought we would steer clear of the interstate highways and actually explore a bit.

Some of my biggest questions involve crossing the Canadian border with our two dogs on board. I've also never towed outside the country, so we will calling our insurance company for the appropriate coverages required in Canada. We also realize that the border crossing security is a lot tighter now, so we plan to carry passports and all other necessary documents. We will be getting all the official info from the appropriate sources, but if anyone has actually done this, I would appreciate your insight into these routes.

Another possibility is the taking the Lake Michigan ferry.

I would appreciate any information you can share with us.
