Nice, more low-key area to watch ships enter the locks from Lake Huron. With scattered picnic tables and some trees makes for a nice little stopping area with easy parking. Currently there’s lots of geese and seagulls in the area!

John Kitchen

Nice quiet hidden gem of a park. You can’t see the locks. But you can view ships coming and going from the east side of the locks. Ample parking and short walk to picnic tables. Unfortunately there are no grills, so pack your pb&j for a picnic!. No restrooms. One small rain shelter pavilion.

Easy to find, decent free parking. Easy to enjoy and picnic and watch freighters pass by and enter soo locks. 2 blocks walk to locks park entrance and viewing platform

Susan Baranoff

Clean and beautiful! Nice spot to sit in the pavilion or in the sun and have a picnic and watch the boats go by.

Great boatwatching spot, pavillion and picnic tables. But road is in horrible shape. Sad the COE or city wouldnt make repairs.
Still a great spot, road still sucks.
7/3/23 update to road condition- appears the American Legion patched up part of the road. Lots still hazardous to walking sadly
4/28/25 🙁 road remains untenable. Sad that no Federal $$ were allocated to COE property improvements
