Destaques
Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Duluth's Canal Park. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll dive into the city's past, like when Canal Park stood under 450 feet of water. Duluth is a one-of-a-kind, inland port city, which serves as a gateway to the north shore of Lake Superior. Its long history is reflected in Canal Park, a formerly run-down industrial zone and one of the city’s thriving centers for recreation today. You’ll find out how, when a local businessman rattled Duluth by moving his Pizza Roll factory to Ohio, his son would go on to play a role in Canal Park’s economic revival. I’ll tell you about the famous Glensheen murders that were made into a musical, and about fish that are almost as old as Duluth Itself. You’ll hear about Duluth’s shipping heritage, the founding and naming of the city, and the building of the Duluth Ship Canal. You’ll then head down South Lake Avenue to finish our tour at the Minnesota Slip Bridge.

About Duluth
Duluth is a hilly port city on Lake Superior, with a lift bridge, ore freighters, a lakeside boardwalk and the rugged North Shore to its north-east.
Duluth climbs a steep hillside at the western tip of Lake Superior, with the harbour it shares with Superior, Wisconsin, at the foot. Ships from across the world and long ore freighters call here for iron ore, grain and coal, and the Aerial Lift Bridge in Canal Park, built in 1905 and rebuilt as a lift bridge in 1929, rises to let them pass. A paved Lakewalk runs along the shore beside the old warehouses of Canal Park, which are now shops and restaurants.
