About Canal Park

Canal Park is Duluth's lakefront district at the foot of the Aerial Lift Bridge, built from a warehouse district converted in the 1980s into restaurants, shops and hotels. You can walk the Lakewalk along Lake Superior, head out the lighthouse pier as freighters enter the ship canal, and stop in at the Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center. The Great Lakes Aquarium and the William A. Irvin ship museum sit nearby.
