One on Minnesota’s gems is the harbor city of Duluth on Great Lake Superior. At only three hours away from the Twin Cities, you can pack a bag to go for the weekend, but you may soon find yourself wanting to come again and again. Coming into Duluth on Hyw 35, you get to that point in the road where the vista opens to an amazing view of the city, where homes line the hills and then break to the wide open view of Lake Superior with the Areil Bridge added for good measure. Follow the Bridge to Canal Park on Lakeshore, a notable hot spot for Duluth, that hums with tourists in search of good food,sweets, shops, antiques and the awesome view of ships going in and going out from Canal Park.
