We cross the border frequently, and all have Nexus trusted traveller cards. Often the line-up for Nexus is just as long as the other lines on weekends, and they rarely open a second booth to speed up the wait. More

The water and sight of the twin bridges is awesome especially if you get a sunny day to see that blue water! Lots of places to stop and walk along the boardwalk and get some food, talk to fisherman, More

Drive over, under and around the bridge. Watch the freighters and boats going up and down the river. Check out the fisherman's catch and visit the lighthouse ship and the Hollyhock, Coast Guard Ship. More

Tourists are always here taking pictures. On a clear day the water gets very blue and pretty. Sometimes my son and I will park down here and watch the divers and boats. Very nice Parkway for joggers, close to park and hospital. The only downfalls are the factories across the river and the water treatment plant (but they have to... More

You can not pass through Port Huron and not stop and take in the moment of the blue water bridge. Many people love the boardwalk you can stroll down and be able to enjoy the country right across the water! More

But terribly busy and the wait at the border can be 30 minutes (or more). Drive a bit further south and take the ferry at Sombra. More

Yes. It's a bridge. It spans a river. It's a pretty river on one side with lots of petro chemical and other chemical facilities on the other. And when you're waiting to cross into Port Huron/Sarnia, you can look at these things. Why are we rating a bridge? More

There is a beautiful boardwalk under the bridge in Port Huron that has many visitors that walk along and view the large ships that go by. Some people come to fish. At night the bridge is so beautifully lit up, as is the Canadian shore. When an outdoor concert is playing in Canada you can hear it from the boardwalk. More
