Living in Sault Ste. Marie
Sitting on the St. Marys River between Lake Superior and Lake Huron, “the Soo” pairs everyday city conveniences with the kind of outdoor access most cities can only dream about.
About Sault Ste. Marie
One of the oldest settlements in North America, Sault Ste. Marie has been a gathering place beside the St. Marys Rapids for thousands of years. Today it’s a welcoming city of about 82,000 people, with a university, a college, a regional hospital, and a growing downtown, all without big-city traffic or prices.
What makes the Soo special is how quickly city life turns into wilderness. Hiking and ski trails at Hiawatha Highlands are minutes away, the Agawa Canyon Tour Train heads north into some of Ontario’s most breathtaking scenery, and Searchmont Resort offers skiing and snowboarding less than an hour from town. In summer, sandy beaches, boating on the St. Marys River, and many area festivals like Arts at the Dock keep weekends full.
For families, retirees, and anyone looking for a more balanced pace of life, Sault Ste. Marie offers space to breathe and a strong sense of community.
