Superior, Wisconsin
While it is the smaller, low-lying sibling of the Duluth-Superior Twin Ports area, Superior, Wisconsin has attractions worth touring.
Most of the attractions are located along US Highway 53 coming from the east into town. If you are going to be in Wisconsin for a while, stop at the WI Travel Information Center, east of town near Moccasin Mike Rd. Otherwise plan to stop at the Visitor Information booth at Richard Bong World War II Heritage Center in Superior. It is located off Highway 53, on the lake near Barkers Island. This is also a good place to park if you plan to hike or bike along the Osaugie Waterfront Trail.
The Northwest Outlet, near the Bong Bridge, is one of our favorite stops to shop for good deals on camping gear and clothing.
If a search for the world's best hamburger is something that lights up your eyes, there are a couple of grills and bars in Superior that you must visit. See them profiled in our Superior See and Do attractions page.
An increasingly popular event in both Duluth & Superior is the Dragon Boat Festival held the last week in August. There are thousands of competitors as well as even more spectators.
