Sault Ste. Marie
The Soo Locks — a set of ship locks connecting Lake Superior to the Lower Great Lakes — draw visitors to this small city on the St. Marys River in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where the river also forms the US–Canada border. Settled by French colonists in 1668, it is the oldest city in Michigan. The international bridge links it to its larger Canadian namesake across the water, and Lake Superior State University anchors the local centre.
