Very nice and smoothly paved bridge with a nice view

Leif Erikson Park is a small park just off the side of the Lakewalk path. You get great views of the water, and the park sometimes plays host to live music and theater events.

A paved multi-use that runs roughly eight miles long, most of it along the shore of Lake Superior.

This beautiful paved multi-use path takes you along the westernmost shore of the great lakes. You pass through Leif Erikson Park and the Duluth Rose Garden as Lake Superior unfolds next to you. This is a great short, scenic trail.

Bob Smith Memorial Bench is at a viewpoint overlooking the St. Louis River Estuary. From here, peer down into the land conservancy project protecting the St. Louis River and the headwaters in Minnesota's Northwoods. The water below flows into Lake Superior and forms a 12,000-acre freshwater estuary.

The Willard Munger State Trail, spanning between Hinckley and Duluth, offers trails for hiking, biking, in-line skating, snowmobiling, and horseback riding. This scenic trail passes through northern hardwood forests, pine stands, and bog-filled hills. It also follows a historic railroad route that saved lives during the Hinckley and Cloquet fires in the 19th century. Visitors have the opportunity here to spot a variety of wildlife, including whitetail deer, raccoons, foxes, porcupines, and occasionally bobcats or black bears.

There is a park right at the trailhead with a playground, picnic shelter, and plenty of picnic tables and benches along the stream.

All told, this paved multi-use trail stretches for almost eight miles along the shoreline of Lake Superior. It's great for recreation like running, walking and biking, but also a nice way to commute around town if your route falls luckily close to the Lakewalk's path.
