| About | The Sault Ste Marie Canal features historic sandstone buildings, a recreational lock, the world’s only remaining Emergency Swing Dam and a network of nature trails located on two scenic islands in the St. Marys River in downtown Sault Ste. Marie. The St. Marys River rapids were central to the area's settlement, working first as a major trading centre and fishery for Indigenous peoples and later as the means to power steel and pulp and paper mills, which industrialized the city at the beginning of the twentieth century. The Sault Ste. Marie Canal is a popular recreation spot for city residents and a magnet for tourists who visit the city. The site is growing known as a prime space for community events, and emerging relationships with Indigenous partners present opportunities for collaboration and the presentation of Indigenous cultures and histories. |
