Photo Friday: Ships passing through the Soo Locks

By |

With more than 10,000 vessels traversing the Locks each year, the Soo Locks allow a variety of ships to pass from Lake Superior to the lower Great Lakes efficiently and safely. The Soo Locks are located on the St. Marys River between Lake Superior and Lake Huron, between Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and Ontario, Canada. They bypass the rapids of the river, where the water drops 21 feet. The Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge between the United States and Canada permits vehicular traffic to pass over the locks.

The reds, yellows and oranges are fading to brown and falling off, so this will be our last installment of Fall Photo Fridays. A big thanks to all of our leafer-readers who submitted pictures. Next week we’ll return to our regularly scheduled Photo Fridays – so don’t let dying leaves discourage you, and keep those pictures coming!
