Are you looking for summer fun in the Soo? We are here to help! Let’s look at five of the best ways to spend your time during the summer in Sault Ste. Marie while you’re young!

When it’s sunny and 75 in beautiful Sault Ste. Marie… that means it’s time to get out on the water! Grab your paddleboard or kayak and paddle away towards Voyageur Island for a day you won’t forget! Voyageur Island is only accessible by water, so dock your kayak or paddleboard and take a hike through the beautiful boardwalks and hiking paths on the island. If you’re getting hot, swim in the St. Marys River or jump off the rope swing located at the island’s northern point. On your way back, make sure you swing around to observe Steere Island, better known as Goat Island for its unique animal life! Be sure not to interfere with the goats, and as always, leave no trace on the hiking trails!

Let’s get outside all summer long! Grab some friends and get outside at the Sault Ste. Marie Country Club. This historic course with stunning views ensures that you will have an extraordinary time out on the course.
