This Day Trip To Sault Ste. Marie Is One Of The Best You Can Take In Michigan
Though most Michiganders know that Sault Ste. Marie is a historic and beautiful town, we’re guessing that there are quite a few natives who have never actually visited.
It’s time to change that. Here’s why Sault Ste. Marie is one of the best day trips you can take in Michigan.
Sault Ste. Marie is the oldest community in Michigan. In fact, Sault Ste. Marie is about 50 years older than New Orleans.
The modern town was founded in 1668, though native peoples had been using the area as a trading location for thousands of years prior to European colonization.
It’s located right on the US-Canadian border. The separate Canadian town of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario is situated just across the water.
This waterfront is actually one of the main attractions in Sault Ste. Marie. The historic Soo Locks is the busiest lock system in the world, and you can actually check it out up close on a two-hour dinner cruise.
Sault Ste. Marie is also home to a bevy of shopping and dining opportunities.
Visitors rave about The Antlers restaurant, which offers classic Michigan cuisine in a dining room studded with wall-mounted taxidermy.
