Sault Sainte Marie Canals - Sault Sainte Marie Canals
Located on the border between the United States and Canada, these canals are located on the St. Mary's River, connecting Lake Superior and Lake Huron. They are also called the Soo Canals. They were created by converting the rapids and falls of the river into canals. There are two canals, 2.5 km and 2.6 km long, on the American side, and one 2.2 km long on the Canadian side. They are part of the St. Lawrence Seaway, and are used to transport iron ore, grain, and lumber from ports on Lake Superior. The first canal on the American side was completed in 1855.
