Provided by Visit Duluth
SPRING/SUMMER 2009
Looking for a greener getaway—for the planet and your pocketbook? Discover the many colors of Duluth: a romantic, adventurous setting that blends city and nature like few places in the world.
Here, on the westernmost tip of Lake Superior, you're always mere minutes from water and wilderness. One moment you can be strolling redbrick sidewalks for a taste of the region's culture in shops, galleries and museums.
The next, you're exploring miles of trail adorned with majestic forests, tranquil streams and cascading waterfalls.
Fact is, there's more greenspace here than in any other American city—11,000 acres of open and wooded land. With so much terrain, the biggest challenge is figuring out where to start. Consider the Superior Hiking Trail, one of Reader's Digest's “Five Walks to Remember.” Or, for an easy, kid-friendly hike, pack a lunch and visit one of Duluth's many stunning city parks for a chance to see wildlife up close—from eagles at Hawk Ridge to whitetail deer and grey fox in Hartley Nature Area.
Pedal your way down the Lakewalk, where you can stop to dip your toes in the world's largest freshwater lake, or get a panoramic view from Skyline Parkway. Looking for a day trip? Try the Willard Munger State Trail. The longest paved path in the U.S. carves through forests, cliffs and meadows. Near the trailhead, the Spirit Mountain Recreation Area offers an array of rugged mountain bike terrain.
Lake Superior is at the heart of the Duluth experience, and one of the most compelling reasons to visit. From nearly any point in the city, you'll have a breathtaking lake view. Start at the Aerial Lift Bridge, Duluth's most famous landmark, to see 1,000-foot freighters and ships from around the world passing by.
Getting away from it all doesn't have to be expensive. The beauty of this Midwestern gem are the many green spaces to explore for free—and many ways to make a visit uniquely your own.
