Boardwalk on South St. Mary's Island, Sault Ste. Marie Canal National Historic Site

Trails encourage exploration of the site's natural and cultural heritage. Visitors to the Sault Ste. Marie Canal National Historic Site can explore the Attikamek Trail. The trail’s name, which is the Anishinaabemowin word for whitefish, gives honour to the heritage of Batchewana First Nation.
