Get social& explore #Duluth
Search for #duluth on Instagram, and you will find nearly half a million posts highlighting the hillside city on the shores of Lake Superior.
Aside from the few Duluth, Ga., posts that may have trickled their way in, the photos showcase not only the big lake, but the many city parks, favorite restaurants and shops, and of course the Aerial Lift Bridge.
Scrolling through this hashtag between classes is a great way to get to know your new home for the next four years. But don’t just scroll, be sure to get off campus and go explore those places IRL.
Here’s a handful of other hashtags and people to follow to get you feeling like a Duluthian in no time:
#duluthnews features posts from yours truly. The @ duluthnews account has a little bit of everything: sports, outdoors, food and Northlanders just doing their thing.

#befromduluth is full of images that will make you want to stay in the area after college and become a Duluthian.
@DuluthLovesLocal highlights the many small businesses in the Twin Ports. A great account to look at when you are searching for your next meal off campus.
