Duluth

Introducing Duluth

At the westernmost end of the Great Lakes, Duluth (with its neighbor, Superior, Wisconsin) is one of the busiest ports in the country, sporting over 40 miles of wharf and waterfront. The town’s dramatic location spliced into a cliff makes it a fab place to see changeable Lake Superior in action. One minute it’s shimmering like a cut diamond, the next it’s sending off ferocious, ice-capped waves. Attractions here naturally revolve around the water.

There is a visitors center (218-722-6024, 800-438-5884; www.visitduluth.com; 350 Harbor Dr; 11am-7pm Sun-Fri, 9am-7pm Sat mid-Jun–Aug, reduced hrs mid-May–mid-Jun & Sep–mid-Oct) in the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC), opposite the Vista dock.
