The Lakewalk
Stretching from Bayfront Park to Brighton Beach | Duluth, MN
One of Duluth’s most iconic outdoor experiences, the Lakewalk is nearly 8 miles of paved path winding along the shores of Lake Superior. Whether you’re strolling hand-in-hand past lighthouses and sailboats, birdwatching near native fruit trees, or biking as a family with waves crashing nearby, the Lakewalk offers a scenic slice of the North Shore for every pace.
Originally a modest half-mile path built in 1986, the Lakewalk has grown — thanks to the dedication of local advocates like Friends of the Lakewalk. Today, it connects parks, beaches, public art, and restaurants, with amenities like restrooms, picnic tables, and bike-friendly trails along the way.
