Duluth

Lake Superior city

Duluth is a port city in northeastern Minnesota, at the western tip of Lake Superior.

It forms a metropolitan area with Superior, Wisconsin, across the harbor.

The city is known for its steep terrain, harsh winters, and role in shipping iron ore and grain through the Great Lakes: We drove up to Duluth for the weekend.
