Lake Superior State University is located in historic Sault Ste. Marie (Soo), Michigan, a waterfront community in Michigan’s Eastern Upper Peninsula. The St. Marys River is just steps from campus, and thousands of acres of forest, waterways, and public land surround LSSU, meaning adventure is never far away. Hiking, fishing, kayaking, camping, and boating are all part of life in the Soo. The area offers plenty of standout local restaurants, shops, events, and attractions to enjoy between classes. Sault Ste. Marie was founded in 1668; we’re proud to call Michigan’s first city home.
