Backroads route from Sault Ste. Marie to Brimley

This route to Brimley gives a better, more interesting sense of the area than the busier route along M-28—a shorter route as well.
Take Bus. I-75/Ashmun/Mackinaw Trail out of Sault Ste. Marie. Do not turn onto
I-75. Instead, continue south on Mackinaw Trail and turn right (west) onto Six Mile Rd. at the blinker and cemetery.

In seven miles you might enjoy stopping at the Mushroom Cap Studio and Gallery
of well-known Great Lakes marine artist Mary Demroske (906-248-6632) by chance or by appointment. Her own paintings, prints and cards of freighters and lighthouses are for sale; see maryedemroske.com. Look for the gray garage on the north side of the road. She's usually there. Phone is on window. Calling ahead is best.

After eight miles on Six Mile Road you will reach Lake Shore Road and Brimley.
