St. Marys River Rapids, White Fish Island National Historic Site

The rapids of the St. Marys River define this place. Connecting Lake Superior and Lake Huron, the St. Marys River drops nearly 7 metres during its journey, creating a series of rapids that present both a challenge and an opportunity.

In this photo, the St. Marys River flows among the rocks and cobbles of the river bed, with the white water of the rapids visible in the distance. The International Bridge crosses the river in the distance, connecting Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, and Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, USA.
