We stopped at the George Kemp Marina after exiting Lake Superior. Easy to get into the marina. Dock hands did a good job. Washrooms were clean and well kept. A great place to watch the large ships enter and leave the locks. It was a bit of a walk to get to the Soo locks welcome center and viewing area.

Arrived 5 June for a two-night stay. The marina is adjacent to the USCG Station. On my visit repairs to Pier A dock including Fuel station were ongoing. The harbor master alerted me to the situation in advance of my arrival, so I was able to adjust my fuel plan. Restroom is clean and convenient. Internet (fast) is offered at no additional charge. Eateries and shops are within a half mile of the marina, likewise the United States Sault Locks and Saint Mary's Canal Park to observe locking operations.

We came after hours, but Tyler was there with a helping hand to assist with fuel, etc. And he did so with a smile and good humor. Amazing service from good folks. Everything was perfect. Thanks!

The George Kemp Downtown Marina is an excellent place to stop when entering or leaving Lake Superior.

The marina is well run, very clean, has very nice docks, and is a great place to watch large ships lock through on to or from Lake Superior.

Saulte Ste. Marie has many tourist attractions to enjoy during your stay.

I've stayed here many times over the years and always been very satisfied and have appreciated the friendly staff.
