Hiking

You can enjoy great views of the aerial lift bridge that connects the city of Duluth with Minnesota Point. There is also good bird watching from here with a chance of a rarity such as the Ivory Gull.

Running

This little park sits along an overlapping portion of the Superior Hiking Trail and the Lakewalk, which stretches for miles along Lake Superior's shoreline. It's a great spot to watch ships coming and going under the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge.
