Leif Erikson Park & Rose Garden
This beautiful park, along the shores of Lake Superior off London Road, is the site of a full-scale replica of a wooden Viking ship reminiscent of the type used by Norse sailors hundreds of years ago. A spectacular extension of Leif Erikson Park, Duluth's Rose Garden offers a beautiful arrangement of more than 3,000 rose bushes and other floral delights. There's also a fountain, a marble gazebo, an herb garden and plenty of benches overlooking the lake.

Split Rock Lighthouse State Park
Perhaps best known for its historic lighthouse, this park offers numerous recreational opportunities. Visitors can cart-in their supplies to pristine campsites along Lake Superior. Scenic trails along the lake link up to the spectacular Superior Hiking Trail. Anglers cast their lines for lake trout, salmon, and brown trout. The rocky beach is perfect for skipping stones into Lake Superior.

Junction of Itasca County Roadway #18 - South side of the highway. This is also known as the 'National Route Great River Road Minnesota'. The Minnesota Great River Road offers the best of Minnesota. The route encompasses the banks of the Mississippi River, Northern Minnesota’s '10,000 lakes' and forests. Recreational spots have taken over the land of the lumberjack where Paul Bunyan and his blue ox, Babe, used to roam freely.
