St. Louis River Quest

ABOUT US

Students are enrolled in the St. Louis River Quest each year to explore the Duluth-Superior estuary and learn about the waterfront industries and the people who work there.

Our
HISTORY

River Quest tours gave us the chance to show the science behind cleaning up contamination and keeping the river clean for future generations.
Kurt Soderberg
Former Exec. Director, WLSSD
Duluth-Superior harbor had a great story to tell about the commercial shipping industry — that millions of tons of coal, iron ore, limestone, grain and other commodities moved in and out of this port each year. We wanted students to know where those items were coming from and where they were headed, why the 1,000-foot ore carriers could not go through the St. Lawrence Seaway, and how the Soo Locks worked.
