The Menu

The Aerial Lift Bridge, earlier known as the Aerial Bridge or Aerial Ferry Bridge, is a landmark in the port city of Duluth, Minnesota. The span began life in 1905 as the United States' first transporter bridge: Only one other was ever constructed in the country, the Sky Ride in Chicago.

Aerial Lift Bridge

Canal Park sits on the shore of Lake Superior, the world's largest freshwater lake by surface area, and it is the gateway to Park Point, home of the world's largest freshwater sandbar. Come visit to experience a 1,000-foot ship passing under the famous Aerial Lift Bridge, to feel the thrill of Grandma's Marathon, or to explore the Lakewalk...you may just find yourself a prized Lake Superior agate!
