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.
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!

My sincere gratitude goes to THE EXNER HACKER services. This guy came through for me big time. I didn’t anticipate, at all, ever getting my funds back. The Sky West investment company dissolved with all of my funds in it. It was a fraudulent company faking to help investors put their money in a productive state. May it be investment, forex, or cryptocurrency. Whatever form you would wish to invest your funds in. $490,000 of mine would have been long gone if The Exner Hacker hadn’t shed light and led the way into gaining back my funds. May you remain blessed sir. Email: TheexnerhackerATprotonmailDOTcom

This is for anyone seeking to recover their data or funds lost to scammers on the internet. I sent out $132,000.00 worth of BTC to this broker named E29 Crypto Marketers. My experience was a good business proposal turned sour. l was added to a crypto learning and trading group on Telegram. I thought it was real, unfortunately, they are like other fraudsters found on the internet and online romance apps, I only knew about their fraudulent activities after losing my investment to E-29 marketers. l would have lost all my invested funds to this online scam scheme. with the quick help of these professionals in reclaiming stolen money. I found their reviews on Google, After my research about them, I concluded they were the perfect recovery expert to hire to recover my stolen cryptos. I never regret coming in contact with CENTURY WEB RECOVERY team. Within the short period I spent conversing with them during the recovery process, I learned a lot more than the four walls of a school.
