NOTEWORTHY THINGS TO SEE AND DO
Visit the Richard I. Bong Veterans Historical Center
The Richard I. Bong Veterans Historical Center is named for World War II pilot Dick Bong, who flew more than 200 missions over the Southwest Pacific and destroyed 40 enemy planes — a U.S. piloting record. The center explores the life of the Poplar, Wisconsin, pilot, as well as other veterans, with artifacts, military vehicles, interactive displays and more.
Experience the falls at Amnicon State Park
The Douglas Fault geological formation created the waterfalls at Amnicon Falls State Park, about 20 minutes southeast of Superior. View the falls from a covered footbridge or from 2 miles of trails. Picnicking areas and camping are available.
