Midwest Living says Duluth’s worth visiting
If you’re a Midwesterner looking for an overnight getaway, Midwest Living magazine recommends Duluth. This Minnesota city of 87,000 offers maritime heritage, good food, shopping, beaches and parks, all on the shores of Lake Superior.
The magazine’s itinerary for an overnight includes a stroll along the 4.2-mile Lakewalk. At Canal Park, there are hotels, restaurants, shops and art galleries. Stop in at Grandma’s Saloon & Grill at the base of the Aerial Lift Bridge, which rises throughout the day to let tall ships through. Park Point, a 7-mile-long sandbar lined with beaches, separates the lake and the harbor.
Area attractions include the SS William A. Irvin ship museum, the Great Lakes Aquarium and the DeWitt-Seitz Marketplace. Nearby are Jay Cooke State Park and the Glensheen Mansion, garden and grounds. You can kayak on the lake or bike the Munger Trail.
Eateries recommended by the magazine include Pickwick, the New Scenic Cafe and Hell’s Kitchen.

Duluth is wonderful! Check out the Duluth Shipping News for up to date information on the ships that are expected in from the Great Lakes, also a great stepping off point for the Northern Wisconsin waterfalls and Superior Lake shore towns and villages.
