Destination guide

On the cusp of a Great Lake

Built on a hill on the western tip of Lake Superior, Duluth was once an important shipping town for furs, timber and iron ore. Today, the town is often likened to San Francisco and has a real buzz about it, with visitors coming year-round to explore the lake, visit the many attractions or get their wintery kicks on the nearby slopes. Most of the Duluth vacation rentals are a stone's throw away from the pistes and most have gorgeous views down over the glistening lake and across the forested landscape which changes throughout the seasons.

Things to do

One of the world's biggest steam locomotives

Off the pistes and hiking trails, there's still plenty on offer. The Lake Superior Railroad Museum houses and enormous collection of railroad artifacts including the Mallet, one of the world's longest steam locomotives. If you're staying in a Duluth vacation rental with kids, they'll love the hands-on discovery center at the Great Lakes Aquarium, where they can feed young stingrays and watch divers in the huge tanks. For such a small city, the Lake Superior Zoo is very impressive, housing hundreds of exotic species. If you fancy a flutter, try your luck at the Fond-du-Luth Casino.

Activities

Voted the "Best Town Ever"

A leading outdoor magazine once voted Duluth the "Best Town Ever", and you'll see why shortly after you unpack. With thousands of acres of parkland in the city, countless miles of hiking trails and numerous streams to fish, those who like the outdoors will not be disappointed. From the doorstep of your Duluth vacation rental, you can charter a fishing boat, kayak across Lake Superior or cycle along the shoreline trails. There are also plenty of opportunities for snowy explorations during winter. Hit the bright, white acres of pistes, or go cross country skiing or snowmobiling through the snowy wilderness.

Weather

Local weather for the trip to Duluth vacation homes

The climate in Duluth can be rather fickle. It's not uncommon for temperatures in the height of summer to be in the 60s one day and over 80 the next. Whenever you plan to visit Duluth, pack warm clothes. That said, the days are often sunny and bright, and during fall the forests that surround the lake burst into a spectacular kaleidoscope of colors. Between December and February, the landscape is blanketed in a thick layer of snow which opens up a whole host of wintery activates. Just make sure you bring your gloves.

Natural features

Hawks, black bears and wild orchids

Lake Superior supports a fascinating range of habitats. Under the water, carp and perch thrive, as do trout and salmon. The inland pine forests and bubbling streams are home to playful otters and the odd ambling black bear, while the shoreline is carpeted with blooming flowering rush. If you love wild flowers, the basin of the lake is home to dozens of colorful orchids. To the north is Duluth's Hawk Ridge, a nesting ground for thousands of pairs of migrating hawks, other birds of prey during fall and a little population of elegant whooping cranes.
