The Sault
We've driven through Sault Ste. Marie before but had not stopped and looked at the city, so we decided to spend a day here checking the place out. The Locks on the Canadian side are only used for pleasure boats these days. A number of years ago the lock walls started to collapse and in repairing it the lock was reduced in width by 3 meter. They also added new gates which decreased the length. In the downtown area there is a boardwalk that runs along the waterfront.
