Duluth Ship Canal Lighthouse Cam

The Gateway to Duluth Harbor

This live webcam overlooks the Duluth Ship Canal, the dramatic cut through the Park Point sandbar that links Lake Superior with the busy port of Duluth-Superior. Twin pier lighthouses flank the narrow channel, marking the way for massive ore and grain freighters.

Historic Pier Lighthouses

The North Pier Lighthouse and its companion stand as iconic sentinels at the canal mouth, among the most photographed landmarks on the Great Lakes. Their weathered structures rise above the concrete piers and rock breakwaters that shield the harbor.

A Working Great Lakes Port

One of the busiest ports on the Great Lakes, Duluth sees towering lake freighters and oceangoing vessels pass beneath the famous Aerial Lift Bridge and through the canal. Watch the maritime traffic and the sweeping Lake Superior horizon unfold in real time.
