Canal Park is the heart of Duluth, joining the fabulous lakefront with the modern, busy city’s downtown. Much of what the city has to offer is related to Canal Park, one of the best things to do in Duluth, Minnesota. It is the gateway to Park Point, and it links the convention center with the Bayfront Park. It has a range of quaint art galleries, shops of all kinds, excellent restaurants, indoor and outdoor cafes, luxurious hotels, and all kinds of businesses.

From Canal Park, you can watch the Aerial Lift Bridge and giant freighters crossing the lake. You can also climb Vertical Endeavors, throw a ball at Adventure Zone, explore the art sculptures along the path, jog, stroll, bike, rollerblade, or even run a Grandma’s Marathon.
