Duluth River Train by sky and water.

Experience the St. Louis River Estuary from the most scenic train excursion in the midwest. We offer a family-friendly ride, educational narration, and a front row seat to wildlife. 

Ride the train, hear the stories, and see the river!

Are you ready to experience Duluth in a new way? Then it’s time to ride the historic Duluth River Train. With views of the St Louis River estuary and Spirit Mountain, our 2 hour out-and-back excursion has been the best way to experience Duluth since 1980. Seeing the fall colors from the train should be on your bucket-list!

We are a completely volunteer run organization and are always looking for new volunteers to help keep this train rolling. No railroading experience is needed. We have jobs to fit your abilities, skills, and interests. 

Our rail excursion is only one way to experience the St. Louis River Estuary. Check out our Choo Choo Paddle Shuttle for the St Louis River Estuary National Water Trail and hiking and biking on the Waabizheshikana: Marten Trail, too.


We are 100% volunteer operated and dedicated to sharing the beauty and history of the St Louis River with you. 

Our 2-hour round-trip excursion departs at 10:30 and 1:30 on Summer and Fall Saturdays and Sundays.
