Walk The Duluth Lakewalk
A fun and interesting way to get out and see the city of Duluth is to walk along the Duluth Lakewalk, which not only has great views of Lake Superior but also boasts some of the top attractions that this Minnesota city has to offer. Many people walk the main 3 miles of the lakewalk and don’t realize that you can continue this stroll for another 4 miles making it a total of a 7.25-mile stretch. There are many reasons to explore the Duluth Lakewalk but here are our favorite places to take note of along the way.
- Bayfront Park is a beautiful space on the harbor with a large grassy field where festivals, concerts, and other events take place all year long. It’s a fun place to explore and as you pass through on the Duluth Lakewalk you may want to check out the nearby Great Lakes Aquarium or the historic William A. Irvin ship and take a tour.
- Continuing along the Duluth Lakewalk You’ll find yourself in Canal Park with a great front-row seat to see the iconic Aerial Lift Bridge during shipping season. Here you can witness large cargo ships arriving and departing from the harbor. Canal Park offers not only lakefront access but is also in close proximity to great shopping and dining options to check out during your stroll. While you are here be sure to make a pit stop out to the lighthouse at the end of the pier where you’ll be able to see a great view of the lift bridge as well as the shoreline.
- The wooden boardwalk is the most traveled section of the Duluth Lakewalk and includes many points of interest like the “locks of love” pier posts and Uncle Harvey’s Mausoleum. Here you can leave the boardwalk where there are great beaches to hang out at and look for agates or sea glass. Rent a bike and ride around at Wheel Fun Rentals for an unforgettable time.
- Along the Duluth Lakewalk, you’ll see the Northland Vietnam Veterans and Korean War Memorials commemorating those who lost their lives in these wars. Past the memorials is the nearby Fitger’s Complex on Superior Street that is full of unique shops and restaurants for a bite to eat along your stroll.
- Leif Erickson Park is a beautiful green space where the Duluth Lakewalk cuts right through and is a great place for some rest and relaxation. Here you’ll find the gorgeous Duluth Rose Garden that features over 3,000 rose bushes as well as other flowering plants during the summer season.
