Saginaw, an unincorporated community in St. Louis County just 18 miles northwest of Duluth along U.S. Highway 2, is a serene rural haven nestled in the Northwoods near the shores of Lake Superior. This quiet spot offers a peaceful escape with its forested landscapes, access to pristine waterways, and easy proximity to Duluth's urban energy. As a gateway to Minnesota's Iron Range and Arrowhead Region adventures, Saginaw embodies a laid-back, nature-focused lifestyle tied to the area's logging and mining heritage. Here's what you can discover:
