EXPLORE THE SHORE

Experience the beauty and majesty of Lake Superior’s coast. The Lakewalk spans nearly 8 miles beginning at Bayfront Festival Park and extends to Brighton Beach.

URBAN CONNECTIONS The Lakewalk connects to city sidewalks, so you can explore unique shops, excellent dining options plus direct access to hotels and area attractions.

BAYFRONT FESTIVAL PARK Located on the harbor, the stage at Bayfront Festival Park holds a variety of events throughout the year including festivals, concerts and events. Kids will enjoy spending time at Playfront Park, an all-ages playground and recreational area.

AERIAL LIFT BRIDGE Built in 1905, the Aerial Lift Bridge is Duluth’s most recognizable landmark. The iconic bridge connects the city to Park Point. Watch as the bridge raises so ships, including thousandfoot freighters, can pass into the harbor.

The Rose Garden

LEIF ERIKSON PARK + THE DULUTH ROSE GARDEN The beautiful natural landscape of Leif Erikson park includes a historic amphitheater stage and encompasses the Duluth Rose Garden. The garden features more than 3,000 rose bushes and other flowers, as well as a marble gazebo and benches offering scenic views of Lake Superior.

DIG IN Scan the shoreline for buried treasure! The lake’s large waves toss up a colorful array of beach glass, weathered rocks and driftwood.

BRIGHTON BEACH Developed as a campground for auto tourists in 1922, Brighton Beach is a hidden gem located at the end of the Lakewalk. Pack a picnic and enjoy the stunning lake views.

POLLINATOR PLOTS Duluth is a monarch friendly city. As you enjoy the Lakewalk, see if you can find all 16 monarch butterfly and pollinator flower plots. Plots have been adopted, planted with milkweed and native flowers, and maintained by the public through a partnership with Friends of the Lakewalk, Duluth Monarch Buddies, Wild Ones Arrowhead, and Duluth Parks and Recreation.
