Best place to be all year around. Can’t go wrong living here. I now live in the center of canal park. I have a big photography moment of living here. Never lived in the city before. Didn’t think I was going to love it thought it would be to much. But I truly love it and don’t regret it.

The Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge was built from 1901-1905 and its style is significantly rare im Bridge engineering.You can see this beautiful structure from all around the water ways of Duluth. We were lucky enough to get a hotel room with a view of it and saw it from many different angles during the day.Unfortunately we were on a schedule and were not able to see a ship come through.Make sure you check it out when you’re in Duluth.

So beautiful! What a view! We always come down here and this time we actually got to see 2 ships come in. It was awesome!

Cool historic bridge that youre allowed to drive on, walk over, and boat under! Really cool!

Its cool to watch it go up. Its cool to watch it do its thing. Its a fun activity in a very fun area of Duluth. I recommend seeing it if youre in the area. Its worth seeing, but isnt this giant spectacular marvel.

The best attraction in Duluth. It’s a trademark see place in Duluth. Summer time is the best!

The beauty of this bridge is like no other. It is so relaxing to sit back and watch it go up and down all day. I maybe partial because I’m a Minnesotan but this is a must see on your bucket list. Just go in the summer so it’s warmer.

An icon that says Duluth when you look at it. It is a very busy bridge, never a dull moment

All time favorite to escape from the cities and heat in summer time. Sometimes the water is warm enough to get in, and that is a treat. Always enjoy watching the bridge get lifted up and big boats and huge ships going through the canal. As of July 2020 when we were there, the Lakewalk along the Lake Superior shore from Canal Park Park toward Leif Erickson Rose Garden is under construction and closed.

This is such a cool place to see. My Uber was super kind and took me around to see the bridge from different spots. Very cool! My hotel was very close to it and I walked around the lake. Such beautiful views and so peaceful. I’m told the lake is so much beautiful during summer time. I enjoyed it even during winter time.

Great place to bring the whole family. Love touring the big cargo ship and watching them come through the canal.

Super gorgeous views definitely a must see when you visit Duluth. Super fun to walk over and a super cool lighthouse at the end of the walk way. Super close to a history museum about lake superior and lots of great restaurants as well.

Unintentionally ended up here at the Aerial Lift Bridge at the *perfect time* to see the Lift Bridge raise for a ship to pass under. So glad my family and I caught this moment! It was truly a magnificent sight to see! The engineering is amazing to say the least! It made for a special memory from our trip through Duluth!

So cool watching the big boats go under the bridge !

The most iconic location in Duluth. Amazing opportunities four different photos and viewpoints.

This iconic place in Duluth is a really good place to visit in canal park. This is a good photography spot so get your cameras or phones out (might want to go to the north path along the canal to get the best pic’s.) You can walk on top of the bridge from Canal Park Drive, and go on top of the bridge from the south path along the canal. When your on top of the bridge you will take in marvelous views of the harbor, canal, or Lake Superior. This landmark is always gonna have a place to stick in my mind.

I love the Aerial Lift Bridge. It is really so pretty around there. Its really fun to go walk over the bridge, sometimes watch ships go by under it. Its also fun to walk around by the lighthouse out there and see the waves on a windy day.

Very cool to see it live. The whole horizantak span goes up.

This iconic bridge is a typically one of the first things I think of when I think of Duluth. It is an awesome looking bridge and you can walk under it too. When it does lift up it tends to be very quick to go back down so it doesnt really slow traffic to the island down very much.

Lots of people walking around. Restaurants are open. Many with outdoor seating. Looks like the tours are running on the weekends.

We loved the nice pristine view of the waters here. Got to see the bridge lift and see sail boats up very close. It was fun for the kids too!

So interesting to see and watch. Make sure you get the whole experience and walk over the bridge.

Beautiful place, always fun watching the bridge rise when the ships come in...

Interesting bridge to see. The area around the bridge is interesting and fun to walk around it.

Work of art. Swing by and check out how it works. Maybe ask questions with the locals, everybodys pretty cool around here.

Been waiting a long time to get here and it didnt disappoint.

This is one of the most beautiful spots in Duluth! If you are a traveler you should 100% check this out. Take some pictures, and enjoy the view.

Nice place to see a part of Minnesotas long running shipping industry and history.

We got to watch a ship longer than the titanic maneuver and pass under the bridge and out into lake superior

So nice to see such an iconic bridge up close and personal. Was able to watch it lift for a ship coming in!

Love it! It’s is Duluth’s trademark.

Its an awesome sight to watch it operate, letting ships pass underneath

Had a great time watching the ship go by! Then we walked over the aerial lift bridge.

Duluth Mn lift bridge area... what can be said? One of my favorite areas on the planet! Come for the bridge, Grandmas, shopping, coffee shops, north shore culture, giant ships, cooler summer temps.... On my “to do” list EVERY summer!

Never a dull day at the bridge.

Great views of Lake superior and fun watching the big cargo ships come into port

My kids love walking across the bridge and watching it raise for boats and ships.

Nothing like hearing the ships horn blowing loudly when approaching the bridge. Then the bridge returns the call and you better be sitting down. A classic Duluth landmark. Everyone needs to see an ore ship passing through this canal.

Awesome area for a walk. Was hoping for a little bigger boat.

Iconic part of Duluth. I enjoyed seeing it on a cold Tuesday night, but the chance of it rising to let a ship go through was slim to none.

A Duluth/MN icon and wonderful to visit, especially in cool weather.

A fun place to watch the boat come back to shore and a nice area to walk near the lake!

Highly recommended. Beautiful area , close to beaches shopping and an old world flare . Canal lark is the place to be in the summer time . This lift bridge makes for a wonderful photo shoot, and if your lucky you can watch the large Great Lakes Ships pass under the ship .

Very good place to visit lots of history very well cared for bridge

Lake Superior is beautiful and the lift bridge is amazing to watch! Such engineering back in the day!

So cool to see this technology in action! Nice place for a walk along the water.

Its beautiful anytime, regardless of the weather. I love looking at the Lake and seeing an occasional ship.

Awesome place and a great learning experience. Canal park is a unique placed the Midwest. You can find a ship schedule online.

Nice experience when a ship passes throughIf your there walk to both light houses or spend some time on the beach east of the bridge

Really cool! Saw the bridge go up and several boats, including a ship go through.

Sweet views of vessels of all kinds moving into Duluth Harbor.

Beautiful weather. Good places to wat and definitely not as big of crowds.

Great place to visit with your family!

Amazing structure, its really neat to see the bridge actually lift for boats. Lots of photo opportunities if I do say so myself. The surrounding area is filled with dining and shipping options, as well as historical and educational attractions. Parking can be a bit iffy but it wasnt as difficult as I thought for a Friday evening or a Saturday afternoon in July/August.

One of my favorite places to visit in Duluth. No matter the weather, you’re sure to have a beautiful view. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch a ship coming through the harbor!

Nice area to have a leisurely walk & watch ships and boats enter the harbor. Theres also a free museum next to it.

Great view, must stop on a first time trip to Duluth!

Cool to see, fun to watch the big barge boats come in and out.... Amazing place on a nice day to take a walk around and enjoys all the views! Climb up on the lighthouse tower and take some family photographs. Lots of nice restuarants and stores nearby.

We got lucky to see a boat pass under the lift bridge during our brief visit at the area. The place is clean and there are lots of restos nearby.

Bridge has a magnificent view of engineering and scenic beauty. You get to see it raised every few minutes for ships and large boats to cross.

Always enjoy stopping here when passing through the Duluth area!

You might be thinking, its just a bridge. True, but its huge, impressive, fun to walk over and impressive to see in action. Interesting tidbit: This bridge has its own address and mailbox! Can you spot the mailbox?

Nice wide cement walk path to an old lighthouse. Fun to watch the boats and bridge lift. There is also a gravel path along the waterway, shoreline is hard/jagged rock. Worth an hour or 2 exploring.People were feeding the seagulls popcorn so they swarmed which scared my son, he’s 8.

Got my car across the water! My 2.5 y/o son loves watching it open and close.

It is always beautiful! Rain or shine!! Sun or snow!

I havent been here for many years but it never gets old. The beautiful vastness of this lake is just hard to believe that we have this gem in Minnesota.

One and unique place to visit! Must visit location

Iconic Minnesota/Lake Superior landmark, a must see. Worth checking the ship schedule to watch the big shops go in or out under it and seeing it lit up at night is awesome.

Duluth classic. I have lived here for 7 years and counting and a simple day cruzing around canal park is still a great time. If you can get there by any means other than car you will have a much better time! Walk, bike, longboard, whatever, its a good time. Today I was passing by going to the beach.

Duluth is a very cool city with plenty of fun things to do, and coming to the pier is one of them. Yes, this place is selfie-central and a bit of a tourist trap, but its still very cool watching the ships come in and the bridge being lifted.Bottom line, if youve never been to Duluth before and youre planning on a day trip here, the pier/left bridge should definitely be on your list of things to do.

Its an amazing experience to see the ships roll into the harbor

Scary! I loved watching it go up and down to let the boats thru. I didnt like walking across it. LOL. Fear of heights plus the rumble under my feet from the cars made for some fast stepping for me!

Its an amazing place to go to. Tourists from everywhere in the world come to see this bridge and the ships that come through its ports.

Lot of time waiting for it to lift but worth the wait.

The lift bridge is so fun to watch go up and wait as a ship comes into harbor. You can find out the times a ship comes into harbor by going to the marine museum website.

Real fun to watch to ships go by and see how everything works...! Very nice little museum on the bottom with stories on the many ships that went down in the lake.

So cool to see the freighters close up!

Interesting,easy to get up close to appreciate the engineering

Absolutely loved it! We got to see a gigantic ore boat go through the canal, which means the bridge lifted to its highest position and then back down. Awesome! Great little shops in the area, great food locations, parking, and a museum. But be aware that while did are allowed in the are outside, they are often prohibited from going inside the museum and some shops. Highly recommend this place though!

Quiet n peace Sunday afternoon. 1st week Aug

Very cool! A must see if your visiting Duluth.

Love canal park and the lift bridge! Great views

Beautiful as always!!! Walked across the bridge and waited for it to lift for a sail boat, WONDERFUL!!!

So much fun to watch the large ships coming through!

Honestly to me this was about the only thing to see in duluth. Sorry to say, but I am sure there are great places down by the river walk/ canal area to eat.

Idk why google was telling me to review this but here we go. Its really cool to watch the ships go by.

Perfect spot for a weekend getaway.

It was cool place to go there

Its a neat place to spend some time. We watched a boat come in and walked along the area. It was a pleasant place to visit.

What a beautiful bridge it is. Don’t miss watching it in operation.

Awesome bridge with rich history! Definitely must see when in the Duluth area.

We love going down to Canal Park and watching the ships come and go!! A must see every time were in Duluth!!

I absolutely love Duluth and try to visit at least once a year. Even though Ive seen this bridge a million times, I still love seeing it and brings back so many good memories for me.

Find that perfect day and take a drive up to Duluth !

The view here is great.

If you’ve never seen an Aerial Lift Bridge, This one is beautiful, especially from a distance in the evening! Be sure to stop by and see it… And drive over it when you’re in the area.

Best time is visit is summer . Nice walk around the bridge area.

Love the bridge even after 20 years here.

Awesome place to go for a walk at night!

This is an awesome attraction with zero cost! I would highly recommend you going to Harbor Watch on your cell phone to get updates of days and times that the ships come through this harbor!! This will allow you to plan your other activities around these times! There is also a narrative going on closer to the maritime center(closer to the aerial lift bridge) which provides you with a ton of information about each of the boats coming through! Therefore I would strongly recommend you standing on the walking path closer to the bridge so that you are able to hear this very informative narrative over the loud speakers!
