The St. Marys River Grand Slam

The St. Marys River stretches for almost 75 miles, connecting Lake Superior and Lake Huron but there is one area in particular that is a go-to for us when we are in Sault Ste. Marie. This few mile stretch is where our "St. Marys Grand Slam" takes place and it consists of paddling, hiking, fishing and finding a freighter. 

St. Marys Grand Slam Challenege

We start off the grand slam by paddling. The spot to launch for this area is from Rotary Park. There is a really nice launch that leads to endless paddling opportunities through the islands in the area and is one of our all-time favorite places to paddle. This is the spot to get amazing views of freighters passing by, calm paddling between islands and the opportunity to see wildlife like bald eagles. 

To complete our St. Marys River Grand Slam, a freighter needs to be seen and there is a bonus if it is a 1,000 footer. While paddling, we were able to see the Philip R. Clarke pass by. While not a 1,000 footer, it is a beautiful class style freighter. At this point we had paddled and during the paddle, spotted a freighter. 2 of the 4 parts of the Grand Slam were completed!

There is a unique opportunity for hiking in this area and it takes place on Voyager Island Voyager Island has hiking trails built throughout it and is only accessible by paddled vessels such as kayaks, canoes and paddleboards. The landing area for Voyager island is a short paddle from the Rotary Park launch. Our recommendation is to do a longer paddle either before or after going to hike Voyager Island. There is the opportunity to hike all of the island then paddle around it, which leads to a cool experience from both land and water.

Our favorite part of Voyager Island is Freighter Trail. The name says it all. It is a great spot to see freighters. As we were hiking we realized we had the opportunity to see another freighter. This time it was a 1,000 footer, the Edwin H. Gott. This freighter has been a special one for us this year as we got to board the Gott as it was waiting to be the first freighter through the Soo Locks for the 2023 shipping season.

After returning from Voyager Island and paddling, we were back at Rotary Park. Right there is a drive-in hamburger restaurant called Clyde's. Clyde's is an iconic place in Sault Ste. Marie. We decided to go big with their 3/4 lb Big "C" burger. Our recommendation is to get your Clyde's and watch the freighters or the Sugar Island Ferry go by.

The last thing we accomplished as part of our St. Marys River Grand Slam was to catch a fish. For this part, we called in the support and went fishing with our dad and completed the challenge with a nice smallmouth bass and a walleye. As for fishing in the Soo, there are multiple boat launches along the river and also a kids fishing area right at Rotary Park. 

 

@mi_playground Possibly the most challenging part of the St. Marys River Grand Slam, catching a fish. #stmarysriver #saultstemarie #fishing #smallmouthbass #walleye ♬ original sound - mi_playground

 

Overall, the St. Marys River Grand Slam was a success! If you complete the grand slam, let us know!

It is possible to retrieve your digital and crypto assets with Wizard James Recovery Firm…

Wizard James Recovery provides a top-notch asset recovery and mobile phone monitoring service. The most recent ruse employed by numerous fraudulent cryptocurrency investment thieves is the new AI technology. Just last week, I received a call from someone posing as a close friend who introduced me to this investment scheme, and that’s when I fell for this scam. I chose to invest even though I had no idea I would be duped since he described her as being just like her and how she had been profiting from the venture. My inheritance and money obtained from several loan brokers on this Chinese investment site were lost, totalling roughly 323,000 USDT. Days after I lost these enormous sums of money, I looked far and wide for assistance, and I came across Wizard James Recovery Company, to whom I explained my predicament. When I opened a case with this team, they promised to get back to me right away. I was shocked to learn that they were able to recover the first installment of my stolen money and the rest amounts once I contacted them a few days later. Their services were hassle-free, flawless, and flawless. I’m relieved that I was saved, and I strongly advise you to contact this company for any asset recovery needs. Additional services include phone surveillance, tax evasion, catching a cheating spouse, improving results, raising credit scores, and eliminating bad debts, among others. For more information contact his team via mail: wizardjamesrecovery(@)usa.com

I advise first-time bitcoin investors to do their research before entrusting any of these Bitcoin investment websites with their hard earned funds. They gain your trust by portraying fake huge profits to convince you to put more funds, till when you invest a substantial sum, they intentionally freeze your account and demand for more payments to have your profits released. I had invested with a bogus company that ripped me off $198000 worth of Crypto, this was close to everything I Had in my savings. special thanks to Century Hackers Recovery, whose recovery company put in a lot of effort and made sure I had my money back If you ever find yourself in a similar scenario, you can reach out to Century Web Recovery through; Email: century@cyberservices.com

How To Recover Cryptocurrency, Binary Option & Fake Investments funds Before engaging in any of these Bitcoin investing websites with your hard-earned money, I advise beginner bitcoin investors to conduct due diligence. By promising to make huge earnings, they win your trust and get you to invest more. However, as soon as you make a sizable investment, they purposefully lock your account and demand additional payments before releasing your winnings. I lost $178,000 in cryptocurrency that I had invested with a fraudulent organization, this was almost all of my savings. a particular thank you to Century Web Recovery, whose recovery company worked really hard to get my money returned. Century Web Recovery can be contacted if you ever find yourself in a situation like this.
