Community Info City of Sault Ste Marie Guide  Quick Stats and Facts about Sault Ste. Marie
About Sault Ste. Marie - Provided by Found Locally Sault Ste Marie was founded because of its strategic location smack in the middle of the Great Lakes. Some original land titles for the area still reside in Quebec City and were signed by Samuel de Champlain himself. The canal and locks were built to get larger ships passed the rapids, and were built on each side of the US-Canada border. The Canadian locks are now a national historic site, and the American locks still operate as part of the St Lawrence Seaway. There is lots to see and do around Sault Ste. Marie in the city. The city has a fascinating history. There are DOZENS of museums and historical sites, lots of parks and greenspace along the city's rivers and canals, and activities and sports and festivals to keep anybody busy (and happy). Not to mention the lakes and the St Mary's River and the recreational paths than run alongside. We even have a page that has tips on hundreds of things to do with kids. The "Soo" lies on the international boundary, and locals know that half the action is on the OTHER side of the border. Whether it's the shopping that's cheaper the bars and restaurants more interesting, or just because there's something to do there, border crossing comes as second nature to most. More... There's even a bus that can take you across, handy for late-night bar-hopping! More.... Customs & border crossing rules are pretty straight forward for most Canadians, though those that are citizens of other countries (or in some cases were born outside of Canada or the US) may require a visa before crossing. More... It's easy to get around in Sault Ste. Marie once you know where you're going, how it all started and who's here.
