Adventuring in Sault Ste. Marie š From mountains to rivers, this spot totally vibes with thrill-seekers and foodies alike!
Top Must-Do Activities:
š Go wild with a sunrise hot air balloon experience (trust me, the views over the lakes and mountains are next-level).
šŖ Paramotoring over the gorgeous riversāprepare for epic photos and that heart-racing freedom!
š² Zipline through lush forests (bonus points if you do it right after a rainy spell for misty, magical scenery).
š£āļø Kayak along the St. Marys Riverārentals pop up along the waterfront, like at Whitefish Island access (open daylight hours).
š Trio Local Food Stop: Try classic Saulteaux lake trout at The Water Tower Pub (360 Great Northern Rd, open late!), feast on poutine at Ernieās Coffee Shop (317 Trunk Rd, cozy night spot) and order a real-deal wild game burger at Gliss Restaurant (133 Spring St, pretty much the best bar for guitar lovers).
Hot Tip: If you hit up bars or restaurants at night, look for quirky guitar-decorated spotsātheyāre full of laid-back locals and live music. Weather can flip fast (clouds, rain, sudden clear-ups), so stash a rain jacket. For sunrise/sunset shots, pack your best cameraāthe river and mountain scenery are Insta-gold!
Getting Around: Super easyāgrab a local taxi, walk between riverfront sites, or try the cheap city bus (Sault Transit is reliable and runs until 11pm). Explore Whitefish Island trails if you want to stretch your legs in full nature mode.
Money & Weather: Credit cards work almost everywhere, but toss some cash in for markets. Sault weather means layers: days can start cloudy, shift to rain, then give you golden sunsets!
