One June 1, 2009 the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative will go into effect. This means that anyone over the age of 16 must present a valid passport or a NEXUS card to re-enter the United States by either land or sea. Until that time, you can travel to Canada and return to the United States with just a government issued picture ID and proof of citizenship such as a birth certificate. Make sure your travel plans include obtaining the proper travel documents for the dates that you are planning your vacation to avoid problems re-entering the US.
