Soo
Locks Visitors Center
www.soolocksvisitorscenter.com
![GLIN Site of the Month]() The world-famous Soo Locks,
opened in 1855 at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., allow vessels of many
types and sizes to safely traverse the 21-foot drop in elevation on
the St. Marys River between lakes Superior and Michigan/Huron. The
five locks -- four American and one Canadian -- ship more cargo
through on an annual basis than the Panama Canal. To honor the
locks' sesquicentennial, public
celebrations are planned throughout the summer, culminating on
Sept. 2 with an Anniversary Ball with governors and other
dignitaries.
