UW-Superior is located just ten minutes away from our sister city (the other port in our "Twin Ports") Duluth, Minnesota.

Our experienced instructors and staff are ready to challenge and stimulate you from arrival to departure. Multiple field trips include two day-long adventures that will keep you captivated.

• Raptor Migration Around Lake Superior
  Learn about the many raptors that migrate over our "head of the lakes" area in the fall due to our unique geographical location. Experience first-hand this annual event as we journey to observe and count these magnificent avians during our day-long field trip to "Hawk Ridge." While there, simply stand in awe at the incredible view over our mighty Lake Superior. This is a double course.
   
• Shipwrecks and Lighthouses: Their Colorful History on Lake Superior
  Travel back over the years to discover which ships went down or wrecked on Lake Superior, when and why. Relive the wrecks and learn who perished, who lived and how they were saved. Study the vital role lighthouses played then, and their place in life on the lake now. Enjoy a day-long field trip to our most famous local lighthouse at Split Rock, and relish our beautiful fall days in the process.
