Beautiful and scenic views if you’re into bridges and architectural design. Very walkable. When walking across bridge, watch out for uneven surface but for the most part, it’s a short walk across the bridge on both sides.
Definitely one of the must visit sights of Duluth. The bridge gets lifted at least once every 30 -45 minutes , and it is a nice sight. The ship captains give an extra honk to please the visitors. The view of Downtown Duluth is spectacular.
I would say this iconic bridge is not only a marvel of engineering but also a symbol of Duluth's rich maritime history. As the tallest vertical lift bridge in the area, it's a sight to behold, especially when it rises to allow large ships to pass underneath. The bridge provides access to the Park Point sandbar and is a popular tourist attraction in the area
Very picturesque area. I highly recommend viewing fro a water perspective and going under the bridge at sunrise...viws are spectacular.
This bridge was so cool to see in person. Me and my girlfriend took a river cruise tour and the lady giving the tour mentioned it was the tallest vertical lift bridge in the US, so we decided to check it out on our way back through Duluth. We got lucky and ended up seeing the biggest ship on the Great Lakes pass through!! It was super cool to watch I’d definitely recommend taking a peak if you’re in the area.
It was so interesting getting to watch the bridge go up so a huge ship could pass through. This is a good area to walk out to the light houses and take in the beautiful views.
What a fun spot in Duluth! We watched several ships come and go through the bridge. The kids loved it! There's a harbor schedule and an app you can check and everything! We watched several leave and a salty come in!!
