About Silver Bay

Located on Lake Superior about an hour northeast of Duluth, Silver Bay is a friendly North Shore town with a rich mining heritage and incredible natural scenery. First built around the local taconite plant in the 1950s, today it offers a peaceful, close-knit setting for people looking to settle near the water. With the distinct dark sands of Black Beach, miles of nearby hiking trails, and endless lake views, Silver Bay makes a great home base for outdoor lovers.
