When you're in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, you may want to visit the boat "locks" and watch the big ships traverse from one lake to another.
Just noticed this.
If you watched the big ships traverse from one lake to the other, you were in Sault Sainte Marie MI, not Ontario. The Canadian lock hasn't been used for anything but pleasure craft/tour boats since it was reopened in 1998 after being closed in 1987.

There are 120 riders that have had the ride certified between 2001 and 2013.
If you do the circle tour highway it's only 1300 miles. You might even get to see the lake a few times. If you get off the highway there is probably no way. The lake shoreline is 2700 miles. The actual coast roads it's hard to say but you would be traveling in and back out on some of them like Copper Harbor road. If they did it in a day they road the 1300 mile highway.
Personally I have found it much more interesting to venture off the highway and see a few things along the way.
