Exceptional Fishing Opportunities

Duluth has a wide variety of fishing opportunities. You can go out on a charter on Lake Superior and primarily fish for salmon, trout, and steelhead. Also, the St. Louis River that flows into Lake Superior has world-class fishing as well. You can find just about any freshwater fish in the river including great walleye fishing, bass fishing, crappies, northern pike, musky, catfish, perch, and even sturgeon. There's really something for everyone.

Breathtaking Scenery

Duluth is a beautiful destination. It's smaller than other cities that make the list, but the small-town charm adds to the experience. You can enjoy the tourist destination spots like Canal Park and Downtown Duluth, or you can go up the North Shore for scenic views literally minutes away from your hotel room. Besides fishing, there's plenty to do.
