FORT ST. JOSEPH
NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE
Situated on the North Shore of Lake Huron, Fort St. Joseph
served as the base for the first British military maneuver against
the Americans in the War of 1812. Immerse yourself in history
and culture as you engage with costumed interpreters, or hike
the nature trails around the Fort ruins on your own.
SAULT STE. MARIE CANAL

Just a short distance from downtown Sault Ste. Marie, discover
an urban oasis at the Sault Canal. Once part of the busiest
commercial lock system in the world, today the Sault Canal is
a premiere tourist attraction. Learn about the construction of

Indigenous Peoples in the new Visitor Centre located in the
historic Blacksmith’s Shop and Stores building.
