The 10 Best Things to do Good for Couples in Duluth, Minnesota (MN)
Perfectly positioned at the westernmost tip of sparkling blue Lake Superior, Duluth offers visitors a true escape from the stresses of everyday life and an opportunity to enjoy nature. You can opt for a more leisurely pace: spending time at one of the city's 23 beautiful parks, taking an unhurried drive along the scenic North Shore, bird watching at Hawk Ridge, skipping stones on the Lake with the kids. Or go for a more structured itinerary: the aquarium in the morning, lunch at a sumptuous restaurant on the waterfront plus a tour of the famous Sculpture Walk, then a visit to the historic Railroad Depot in the afternoon. Either way, you are sure to leave Duluth feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Incredible fall leaves the 3rd week of September 2020. South of Lutsen off of Onion River Road (15 minute gravel road-ugh), very pretty overlooks (4). If you can only do part, choose the leftside (clockwise) once you get to the loop.

First of all let me say that driving this road is a must when visiting Duluth. I spent the entire day driving this path and pulling off to see waterfalls and hike various trails. The lakefront views and small towns along the way have so much charm to offer. Plan your trip beforehand- GPS is great to navigate along the way. Some waterfalls along the way are off the beaten path and require more time and strenous hiking to get to. Today my husband and I hiked the following- Gooseberry Falls (Gooseberry Falls State Park), Illgen Falls, Caribou Falls, Cross River Falls (right off 61), Hidden Falls, and Cascade Falls (Cascade River State Park). The views are amazing and some of the trails were a little icy but it was so beautiful.

I love driving down the point and hiking around the beach here. It gives you a different perspective of the lake, and has great areas for families to hang out and have a beach day.

Just happened by Lake Superior Art Glass with the open air windows and watched Jake make a memorial vase with a someone's loved one's cremated ashes...WOW...so very cool! We've been to the island of Murano in Italy and can attest to how professional and beautiful their hand blown glass creations are! They are 1 of 2 glass blowing companies in the nation that allow people to make their own memorial so when we go back in October, we're going to bring some of our precious little chihuahuas' ashes and make a paperweight! They offer classes too so what are you waiting for?! Support this awesome small business!!
