Sault Ste. Marie at a Glance
Sault Ste. Marie is located just north of the USA-Canada border along the St.
Mary's River. The rushing waters of the St. Mary's, which connects Lake Huron
to Lake Superior, is a main artery into Sault Ste. Marie and at one time was paramount
to the city's growth and success. In 1895, the construction of the Sault Lock
provided an all-Canadian passage from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to Lake Superior.
Today the massive canal system is a popular tourist attraction and is also used
by recreational craft. In addition to the obvious water activities, Sault Ste.
Marie's position in rugged Algoma Country provides an ideal base for a variety
of hunting, fishing and hiking activities. Sault Ste. Marie's proud history can
be further explored at the Sault
Ste. Marie Museum or at Frontier
Village, where 19th century Sault Ste. Marie has been recreated. The surrounding
area also offers many oppourtunities for unique day trips, championship golf and
local shopping and dining.
