Duluth South Pier Lighthouse Live Cam – Harbor Entrance

This version of the South Pier Lighthouse Cam started streaming on April 20, 2026, and it offers a front-row view from one of Duluth's most iconic landmarks at the entrance to the harbour.

The South Pier Lighthouse stands at the end of the pier on the Park Point side of the Duluth Ship Canal, across from the North Pier Lighthouse. Every vessel entering or leaving the port passes between the two, gliding under the famous Aerial Lift Bridge, which rises to let them through.

## What to watch

• Lake freighters and salties passing between the piers
• The ever-changing moods of Lake Superior
• Dramatic waves crashing over the pier in autumn storms

Duluth-Superior is the largest port on the Great Lakes by tonnage, handling iron ore, grain and coal. The shipping season runs roughly from late March to January. In winter, ice builds up on the pier and lighthouse, creating striking frozen sculptures. The stream is provided by Duluth Harbor Cam.
