About Duluth

Duluth is a historic port city in northeastern Minnesota and the county seat of St. Louis County. It is located on the north shore of Lake Superior at the westernmost edge of the Great Lakes, placing the city at a key crossroads between the Midwest and the vast freshwater routes of North America.

Together with Superior, Wisconsin—situated directly across the St. Louis Bay—Duluth forms the Twin Ports metropolitan area, a major hub for shipping, tourism, and waterfront life. The city also serves as a gateway to northern Minnesota, with the Iron Range to the north and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness within easy reach, while Wisconsin lies just across the bay to the east.

Duluth is known for its dramatic landscape, rising more than 600 feet (≈180 m) above Lake Superior. Steep hills, scenic bluffs, and elevated viewpoints offer sweeping panoramic views of the lake, harbor, and city below, making Duluth an ideal base for sightseeing, outdoor recreation, and exploring Minnesota’s North Shore.
