Sault Ste. Marie
Sault Ste. Marie….Naturally Gifted!
Sault Ste. Marie is the natural choice. Centrally located in Ontario, poised in the middle of the magnificent Great Lakes and strategically placed in the centre of North America. The International Bridge links our beautiful waterfront city to our sister city, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan which creates an International flavour while providing an easy access from south-western Ontario and the mid-west states.
Sault Ste. Marie has a reputation as a great place to meet. Located on the shore of the St. Marys River, connecting Lake Huron and Lake Superior, the city is at the “heart” of the Great Lakes and the intersection of I-75 from the south and the Trans Canada highway from the east and west. The rich lush forests of the area provide a colourful backdrop in any season. The cool greens of summer offer hikers, bikers and campers a great setting for fresh air enjoyment. The Sault is the heart of Northern Ontario and your base for a world class outdoor experience. Explore soft adventure pleasures such hiking through a wooded trail at a nearby park to raging over the waters of Lake Superior in a kayak – it is at your fingertips in Sault Ste. Marie.
Major attractions include: Agawa Canyon Tour Train, Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre, Art Gallery of Algoma, Ermatinger-Clergue National Historic Site, Sault Ste. Marie Museum, Spruce Haven Zoo, Searchmont Ski Resort, Sault Ste. Marie Canal National Historic Site of Canada and OLG Casino Sault Ste. Marie.
