FIND IT
WINTER WONDER
When the weather turns chilly, it’s time to bundle up and head outside to enjoy the winter wonderland. It’s a sparkling landscape filled with stunning frozen vistas. OUTSIDE ADVENTURE Enjoy miles of trails
for cross country skiing, snowshoeing or fat tire biking. Explore the wilderness on miles of snowmobile trails or hit the slopes for downhill skiing, snowboarding or tubing.
STAY WARM If you prefer to stay cozy, we’ve got you covered. Downtown Duluth’s skywalk system lets you explore and stay indoors. You’ll find shopping, dining and more, all in climate-controlled comfort.
LAKE VIEWS Lake Superior is spectacular,
especially in winter. Snow-covered shorelines meet with sheets of ice as the lake begins to freeze, though it rarely freezes over completely. If conditions are right, cold air moving over the open water creates majestic “sea smoke.”

Scenic Drives NORTH SHORE SCENIC DRIVE
Begin in Duluth’s Canal Park and follow Lake Superior’s sweeping shoreline 154 miles to the Canadian Border. Along the way, breathtaking cliffs and North Shore beaches are bordered by the Sawtooth Mountains. Rivers and streams forge dazzling waterfalls as they make their rocky way to the big lake.
HIGHWAY 61: ALL AMERICAN ROAD
The road that takes you “up the Shore” was designated one of the most beautiful drives in America by the National Byway Center. No wonder. As one of the country’s most fabled thoroughfares, this vintage stretch of road is full of natural splendor and dotted with small-town mom-and-pop shops beckoning you to peek inside.
VETERANS EVERGREEN MEMORIAL HIGHWAY
This colorful alternative to I-35 has been known as the “scenic route to Duluth” for decades. Highway 23, the Veteran’s Memorial Highway, follows the scenic St. Louis River from Duluth to Askov through Jay Cooke and Banning State Parks. It’s a perfect “Sunday Drive” any day of the week.
BOB DYLAN WAY
SKYLINE PARKWAY
Duluth is the birthplace of Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan Way winds 1.8 miles through downtown from 5th Avenue West to 15th Avenue East, incorporating a portion of old US Highway 61. Hunt for the Dylan-themed manhole covers.
It’s one of Duluth’s treasures: a 25-mile byway that uniquely showcases the city from end to end with spectacular views of Lake Superior and the St. Louis River. Rising 700 feet above the city, the parkway winds along the lake’s prehistoric shoreline: through the woods west of Spirit Mountain, past Enger Tower, over a dozen tumbling waterfalls, across Hawk Ridge and down the secluded boulevard known as Seven Bridges Road to Brighton Beach.
