Sault Sainte Marie

There are magical places on this planet that still speak to something in our hearts, places so gorgeous and diverse that they allow us to know exhilaration and peace, awe and understanding. The Sault Ste. Marie region is one such place. Rushing waterfalls give way to majestic forests, rocky coastlines lead to picturesque lighthouses, and engineering feats of man stand side-by-side with small fishing skiffs and buckets of bait. Michigan’s first place has long welcomed those looking for a place that speaks to them of a life lived differently, whether for a weekend or a lifetime. Come to Sault Ste. Marie, and let yourself step back and step closer—to your friends, to your family and even to yourself. You will be amazed at what you find in this wondrous part of the world .

Probably one of the great attractions in this region is the Soo Locks. The Soo Locks have been referred to as one of the great wonders of the world and are still the largest (& one of the busiest) waterway traffic systems on earth! Watching huge vessels pass through the Locks is a unique experience that cannot be seen anywhere else in the United States!

The Sault also has a number of other interesting attractions--things for the whole family.
