I mean, at the end of the day it is just a bridge :-) However, we rode under it on a boat tour and I have to say it is the most unusual bridge I have ever seen. Not much to write home about if the simple things don't interest you... more

I think everyone needs to go down to Canal Park and see this bridge in action at least once while in Duluth. I've never seen anything like it before. more

“Awesome Experience!”

This was such a great experience watching the ships come in. The bridge is quite a structure. What a beautiful area in general. Definitely worth the trip to see it. more
