If you are traveling by car, you only need a drivers licence. This will probably be the last time you can do it so easy.
All other methods of travel require a passport

You should get yourself a passport since it is considered proof of residency as well as proof of identity. Otherwise, you need two separate documents proving that such as a birth certificate, and a driver's license/state ID. If you are not a US citizen you may need an additional visa, depending on the country.

Depends where you're travelling from and how you are arriving.

U.S. citizens entering Canada from a third country must have a valid U.S. passport. A visa is not required for U.S. citizens to visit Canada of up to 180 days. Anyone seeking to enter Canada for any purpose besides a visit, (e.g. to work, study or immigrate) should contact the Canadian Embassy or nearest consulate prior to travel. Anyone with a criminal record (including some misdemeanors such as Driving While Impaired (DWI) charges) may be excluded or removed from Canada, and should contact the Canadian Embassy or nearest Canadian consulate well in advance of any planned travel for further processing, which may take some time.

IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION: On June 8, 2007, the Departments of State and Homeland Security announced U.S. citizens traveling to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or countries in the Caribbean region who have applied for, but not yet received passports, can re-enter the United States by air by presentation of a government issued photo identification and Department of State official proof of application for a passport through September 30, 2007. The federal government is making this accommodation for air travel due to longer than expected processing times for passport applications in the face of record-breaking demand.

If you are travelling by car you don't need a passport. Government issued photo ID and proof of citizenship (drivers license, birth certificate) are still accepted.

The rules recently changed and you now need a passport. You used to be able to cross with just your birth certificate and drivers license.

you should have a passport...if not, you'll need a birth certificate, social security number card, health care card, driver's license, etc.
