Sault Ste. Marie is the oldest city in Michigan, and among the oldest cities in the United States.
The Soo Locks are the busiest locks in the world, and include the largest lock in the Western Hemisphere, completed in 1968.
After exploring Ashmun Street and Portage Avenue you may want to find a seat inside or out, to soak in the special atmosphere.
The Soo Locks Park is yet another pretty one. If you bring your kayak or stand-up paddle board with you, you’re in luck. The Soo is another paddler’s paradise. The must-paddle path is around Voyageur Island. You launch for the island at Rotary Park all the way down at the Sugar Island Ferry. From here explore the water paths, take in the sights, and even see beaver.
The beautiful thing about this kayak path is that you can see freighters, fish and even land on Voyageur Island. This island has its own hiking pathways along with viewing platforms for freighters. It’s one of the most unique paddling destinations in Michigan. This is all within a few minutes of Rotary Park along the St. Marys River.
Take a boat tour through the Soo Locks. A ride on the Famous Soo Locks Boat Tours or Original Soo Locks Boat Tours takes about two hours, and feature a narrated tour along the Sault Ste. Marie waterfront.
Following a boat tour, stop at the Museum Ship Valley Camp. Great for all ages. The Tower of History offers a bird’s eye view of the Soo area.
The Soo Locks Park is the city’s most famous attraction and offers all sorts of sightseeing spectacles. The observation deck peers over the MacArthur Lock and is as close to the Poe Lock as you can get. This helps it serve as the closest grounded spot you can see a freighter in the area. The Soo Locks Visitors Center is also in the area and provides plenty of information on the engineering marvel.
There are also plenty of great spots for food, drinks, candy, baked goods and Michigan made gift shops.
Tahquamenon Falls State Park is about 90 minutes from the Sault Ste Marie. The two waterfalls are some of the most famous attractions in the entire Midwest. The Upper Falls is actually one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi!
