Field notes August 2026

Our field notes for staying and stopping with a dog in Sault Ste. Marie.

Sault Ste. Marie was the destination of our second day on the road and a place we returned to on the journey home.

Our notes cover a comfortable dog-friendly hotel, a brewery where the staff brought treats for Tilly and two dog-friendly park events that gave us easy evening walks after long drives.

Reliable overnightWe stayed at the same Sleep Inn on both directions of the trip.
Warm welcomeHotel and brewery staff made a fuss of Tilly.
Park eventsBoth Sault Ste. Marie arrivals lined up with dog-friendly events in the park across from the hotel.
