Hiking
Your way to South St. Mary's Island takes you through one of the lock gates. The Visitor Center is located right next to the lock, where you can find out more about the island and its walking trails.

Hiking
Due to damage, the Sault Ste. Marie Canal was decommissioned in 1987. Only in 1998 was the lock reopened, but with a length of only 77 meters instead of the original 274 meters. The lock is now open from mid-May to mid-October for recreational activities.
