Duluth, MN Canal Park, located on the shore of Lake Superior at the Duluth Ship Canal, focuses much of the publics interest in the port. It is an ideal vantage point for boat-watchers, as it serves nearly 300 foreign-flag vessels and an average of a thousand Great Lakes bulk freighters, "Lakers," each year.
Spanning the Duluth Ship Canal is a lift bridge with a 900 ton span that rises to a height of 138 feet. The Lake Superior Maritime Visitors Center features information on the history of Lake Superior, the shipping activity of the Twin Ports, and the work of the Corps throughout the region. Among the attractions within the modern two-story building are full-sized replicas of ship cabins, an operating steam engine, and some of the finest scale ship models in the midwest.
Film showings, educational programs and brochures are available to visitors, and the museums staff help visitors make the most of their stay in Duluth-Superior, one of Americas busiest ports. Visit the Twin Ports at Duluth-Superior Harbor.
