Things To Do In Sault Ste. Marie

By Serena Price


Sault Ste. Marie is a great place to take a vacation at any time of the year. There is not just one town of this name but two. They sit opposite each other, separated by the river. What is interesting about them is that one is in Canada and the other in the United States. Fortunately there is an international bridge that connects the towns and visitors can travel easily between the two countries as long as they hold a valid passport.

The navigable waterway has always been attractive as a good place to settle. For many hundreds of years people have settled in the area because of the abundance of fish. The fast flowing waters are a perfect breeding ground for many forms of aquatic life and even today the river provides employment for many residents as well as leisure events for everyone.

Families are well catered to with lots of playgrounds and children's activities. Each neighborhood has its own open spaces with grassy areas to enjoy the fresh air and even a picnic. The youngsters can let of some steam playing and running on the well designed and safe climbing equipment. Mom's can also get together with others and take their babies out along the stroller paths for some exercise. Each year more and more young families are drawn to the cities because of the great lifestyle they offer.

Snow shoeing and cross country skiing are both great ways to get out and enjoy the fresh air. They are suitable for people of all ages and even the youngest family member can come along. Many people in the area love to skate and there are many indoor and outdoor skating facilities. There is just nothing like the fun and romance of an evening spent on the ice, especially during the holiday season.

Those who want to make Sault Ste. Marie their long term home will be happy to know there are many affordable housing options. Young single people are typically looking for city center condominiums or apartments. They want to have all the benefits of living close to shops, restaurants and transportation links.

Families with young children will also be happy to see there are lots of great neighborhoods. The school districts are excellent and there are many wonderful parks and play grounds. Housing prices are very affordable and it is possible to get a great three bedroom house in a quiet district. There are also a growing number of employment opportunities to take advantage of. Overall residents enjoy a high standard of living on both sides of the river.

In the past few years ethnic food has become very popular. Many people love the spicy simplicity of Thai food, or the fun and festive atmosphere of an authentic Mexican restaurant. There are some quaint and cozy riverside places that are perfect for a young couple out on a date.

No matter weather they are visiting for a few days, or staying for a lifetime there is plenty to do and see in the Sault Ste. Marie area. The warm summers and snowy winters make this a true sporting paradise. Activities such as fishing on the river provides a great day out for the entire family.
