Seven Bridges Road

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Seven Bridges Road in Duluth, Minnesota, is a scenic stretch of road located in the eastern part of the city, leading into the Amity Creek area. The road is named for its seven unique, historic stone bridges, each crafted from local materials. These bridges span Amity Creek, offering stunning views of waterfalls, forests, and the surrounding hills. This winding road is a popular destination year round, but is especially popular in the autumn, when the area becomes a vibrant display of fall colors. In the winter from November to May, the road is closed to cars, making it a cool (sometimes literally!) spot to ride for adventurous cyclists.
