Minnesota's North Shore Scenic Drive

Reviewed By Bethany F

Such a gorgeous scenic drive from Duluth to Grand Portage!! Lots of places to stop off! HIGHLY recommend taking a quick 20 min stop at "Palisade Head" lookout. Some of the best views of the lake. Once past Silver Bay, look for the white church on the right "Palisade Baptist church". The trail is JUST beyond it on the right. Don't park at the bottom lot, just head up the hill (one lane road so drove slowly) to the top parking lot. You won't be disappointed.

Proctor History Center

Reviewed By Steven S - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Small but nice place to visit. The museum is located in a old train depot in Proctor Minnesota. The people who take care of the museum are very nice and informative. They are adding new things to the museum and the toy trains downstairs is something all kids will love. Also outside is a huge older train and caboose, one of only 3 in the world of its kind.

Lakewalk

Running along the edge of Lake Superior is a winding and hilly path, a favorite place for skating, biking, jogging and walking.

Reviewed By Colleen W

the lake walk is closed now due to a large storm that tore apart the boardwalk. can't wait for it to reopen.! it is so relaxing to walk along early in the morning and see the sunrise over lake superior. it really is spectacular.

Aerial Lift Bridge

Originally constructed in 1905 as an aerial lift, this unusual elevator bridge is 386 feet long and spans the canal entrance to Duluth Harbor.

Reviewed By Whitney S

Stand in awe as a giant barge go underneath the lift bridge. The barges are unbelievably huge. It's a beautiful place to hang out on a summer evening. Lots of things to do down by the bridge.

Enger Park and Tower

Reviewed By tomorrowsantiques - Duluth

This is a beautiful park! It is free entry. There is a gazebo overlooking the lake, a paved path to the tower where you can climb 4 flights to the top for a spectacular view of the city. There are restrooms and lovely flower gardens. This park can be reserved from the city for weddings and private picnics. This tower can be seen from all over the city! Easy access from Skyline Drive. No need for a guided tour.

Leif Erickson Park & Rose Garden

Reviewed By Liam R - Castle Danger, Minnesota, United States

We found ourselves on the eastern side of Duluth while trying to get to Canal Park and discovered this park which features a large rose garden. Unbeknownst to many, an interstate runs underneath the park. You can catch a glimpse of the I-35 freeway and a small waterfall at one end of the park, but it hardly diminishes the charm of this place. You are probably not at this park to see the freeway, you have come to smell the roses. Even in October there were numerous blooms. And these plants are well tended. Leif Erickson park is connected to the Lakewalk so if walking and admiring the scenery is your thing then you can stroll up and down the path alongside the lake. The large amphitheater along the Lakewalk hosts summer entertainment. There is also a beach which you can access behind the amphitheater. We spent most of our time there since the kids liked to throw rocks in the water and climb on the bigger rocks. Parking is free at the park (3 hour limit I believe) and there are public restrooms. If you want to picnic there is a grocery store just across the street. To get to Canal Park by car from here just take London Road SW to E Superior and go south past Fitgers to Lake Dr. Otherwise follow the Lakewalk towards the lift bridge.

Canal Park

Watch seagulls soaring while you stroll around this popular spot, part of the revived Duluth waterfront. Nearby are a sculpture garden, jazz clubs, coffee shops, motels and restaurants. If you like ships, stand on the pier and watch huge boats and ships, some from around the world, come and go daily.

Reviewed By Michael M - Nevis, Minnesota

Great family experience close to home watching ocean going ships passing under the historic lift bridge, exploring the marine museum, shopping in the many small boutique stores and enjoying lunch, dinner or fine micro brews of Canal Park.

Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center

This maritime museum details the Great Lakes' history and the part they played in the shipping industry.

Reviewed By jimandbevh - Plano, Tx

This is not a large museum but filled with facts and exhibits about the shipping on the great lakes. It is free so the price is right. A welcome quiet retreat from the tourist area it is in.

Park Point

Reviewed By Danielle J

It is beautiful. Sea grass and sand dunes and quiet. There is a changing area if needed. Lots of parking. There is a trail through the woods to a quiet section of beach. It's a great place to look for drift wood and enjoy nature.
