Experience an exciting sightseeing tour through the famous Soo Locks, the world’s largest locking system. You will actually ride through the Soo Locks and cruise alongside giant lake and ocean ships. Inside the Soo Locks your boat will ride the water as it is raised 21' straight up, to the level of Lake Superior. Witness the large freighters up close! Plan your trip soon! | I Love Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan

Another Look: Here is a different look at the Soo Locks first ship last Friday in a time-lapse video taken from the Poe Lock miter gate. In the video, the Joseph L. Block — the first ship of the 2024 navigation season — and the Indiana Harbor enter the lock and then rise to the Lake Superior water level before exiting westward. #USACE #SooLocks #GreatLakesNavigationSystem | U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District
