Attractions

With shores on three of the Great Lakes, the Eastern Upper Peninsula (EUP) is one of Michigan’s most scenic and historic areas.  Sault Ste. Marie is Michigan’s oldest city.  It is also home to the world’s busiest locks.  Whether your recreational interest is birding, boating, camping, fishing, gaming, golf, hiking, history, shopping, or sightseeing, the EUP offers you a wonderful visit.  Among the most notable attractions in the area are two casinos, great golf courses, numerous museums, Mackinac Island, the Soo Locks, Tahquamenon Falls, and Whitefish Point.  There are also numerous attractions in and around Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, including the magnificent Agawa Canyon Tour Train (bring your passport or enhanced driver’s license).  We hope you will join us for what promises to be a great conference.  We also hope you will be able to stay on for the weekend and enjoy the many attractions of our beautiful and historic region.
