Sitting near the mouth of the St. Marys River, Sault Ste. Marie is a community with a rich local history steeped in the steel and shipping industries. Cyclists and hikers alike can enjoy the 22.5km John Rowswell Hub Trail, which offers scenic views of Sault Ste. Marie’s extensive public waterfront on the St. Marys, and the must-see Fort Creek Conservation Area. The Sault Ste Marie Canals and Ermatinger National Historic Sites, Art Gallery of Algoma, Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre, Roberta Bondar Pavilion, craft breweries, and a wealth of restaurants and accommodations are all along or within a short distance of the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail in this proud Northern community.
Travellers to Sault Ste. Marie can wander Whitefish Island, shop at the historic Mill Market, or take advantage of the International Bridge and connect with US Bike Route #35 through Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.
In June, watch for the annual International Bridge Walk to Sault Ste. Marie, MI.
