About This Location

Soo Locks Boat Tours at 1157 E Portage Ave in Sault Ste. Marie offers guided boat tours through the Soo Locks — the engineering marvel at the heart of the Great Lakes shipping system, where massive freighters are raised or lowered 21 feet between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. Tours depart multiple times daily during the navigation season, taking passengers through the locks aboard authentic tour boats for a close-up encounter with ocean-going vessels and a unique perspective on one of North America's most important commercial waterways. The tour narration traces the history of the locks from their 1855 construction through the modern system that handles over 10,000 vessel transits per year.
