Bayfront Festival Park and Lakewalk - City of Duluth, Minnesota


Our July 2016 trip to Lake Superior concluded with a much too brief visit to Duluth, Minnesota. We had just enough time to walk along the waterfront from Bayfront Festival Park to the 610' ore freighter SS William A Irvin in the heart of Canal Park.

Old mooring bollards mark the former slip that has been converted into a park

A grass lawn replaced the former slip and provides a seating area for watching festival activities
