This area offers much so more than what is listed below. There are great views of Lake Superior and the iconic Aerial Lift Bridge. The Lakewalk pedestrian and biking path hugs the shoreline and connects the Canal Park Duluth District to the city parks, beaches, and downtown. You will also find plenty of shops, restaurants, and breweries to take a break!

Drive across the Aerial Lift Bridge, and you will find a 5 mile stretch of narrow road set along side Lake Superior. Park your car, and enjoy the sandy beach that stretches the entire length of the road. Mike and I enjoy looking for sea glass.

The Aerial Lift Bridge is an iconic piece of Duluth. Be sure to spend some time in Canal Park, watching the the bridge raise for cargo ships to pass under. You can drive and and even walk over the bridge.

Bar located on canal with pool, ping pong, darts, skee-ball, bubble hockey, corn hole, and pull-tabs!
