A real, major freight-shipping port

Superior's port role -- part of the Twin Ports with Duluth -- moves roughly 30 million tons of cargo annually via rail, highway, and ship, a real, central piece of the local transportation and economic identity.

Practical airport access across the bay

Duluth International Airport sits a real, practical drive from Superior, just across the bay in Duluth, Minnesota, offering regional commercial air service.
