A unique city with a unique name on the US-Canada border

Charming River Breweries Affordable

Sault Sainte Marie, also called “the Soo” by locals, is a city in Michigan set along the St. Marys River across from the Canadian city it shares a name with. The city is home to the Soo Locks, the world’s busiest canal, and is a gateway from Lake Superior to the Great Lakes below.

Sault Sainte Marie’s position on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula gives it a unique atmosphere. Grab a drink at Karl’s or 1668 — two popular breweries near the water — and enjoy stunning views of the Canadian side of the river and the International Bridge. Sault Sainte Marie is a popular hockey town, and there’s always something to regardless of the season.

Apartments close to the water have remained affordable, and many are located in charming historic buildings. I-75 will bring you to mainland Michigan in no time, or up to Canada if you’re willing to cross the border.
