The Lake Superior Estuarium (estuary + museum) is a crucial part of the Lake Superior Reserve outreach effort. The Estuarium, located on Barker’s Island, is a free exhibit hall with information about and interactive maps of the St. Louis River Estuary and the Lake Superior Reserve. There is also a play area for children, including books to read, drawing and coloring, and a small indoor playground.

Our Lake Superior Estuarium would not be possible without our wonderful volunteer docents who help staff and educate visitors on the Estuarium, the St. Louis River Estuary, and the work of the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve. Docents greet and converse with Estuarium visitors, as well as manage the building during open hours. We encourage any community members who are passionate about the watershed and want to make a difference in the community to volunteer. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, we are holding a Lake Superior Estuarium Docent Training on Tuesday, May 27 and Saturday, May 31 from 10-11:30 am.
