Leif Erikson Park

Canal Park & Beyond: A Walking Guide from the DECC
Address
1301 London Rd
Duluth, MN 55805 United States Get Directions
Originally Called Cullum Park and then Lake Shore Park, this greenspace located along Lake Superior near the mouth of Chester Creek became Leif Erikson Park in 1927 after Bert Enger purchased the replica vessel Leif Erikson, which sailed from Norway to Duluth, and donated it to the city on the condition it be placed in the park and the park renamed in its honor. The park has long been home to Duluth’s Rose Garden and includes a historic amphitheater stage and the Lakewalk slices through it. The Leif Erikson vessel, however, sits in storage near Bayfront Park.

  • Miles for The Mission 5K Walk / Run

    Leif Erikson Park 1301 London Rd, Duluth, MN, United States

    Join us for Union Gospel Mission’s biggest fundraiser of the year — the Miles for The Mission 5K Walk / Run! This isn’t your average 5K. Each step represents the daily journey many of our guests face — walking miles across Duluth, often through snow and cold, in search of warmth, food, and hope. By walking or running alongside us, you’ll not only experience that journey firsthand, but also help change it for someone else. Your participation directly supports the programs and services of Union Gospel Mission, providing meals, shelter, and care to those in need right here in our community. The route begins at Leif Erikson Park and ends at Bent Paddle Brewing Company in Lincoln Park, where the celebration continues! Enjoy cold brews, hot coffee, a food truck, and a bucket-style silent auction — all in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere. Create a personal fundraising page when you register,...
