Each Duluth, Minnesota Historic Inn provides exceptional lodging for guests who love hiking, fishing, skiing, golfing and outdoor activities. In addition to the Lakewalk along Lake Superior’s breathtaking shoreline, we have dozens of hiking trails, meandering creeks and secluded waterfalls within our city’s parks and nature preserves. Fishing opportunities abound for salmon, lake trout, sturgeon, and walleye.

Cross-country skiing is some of the best you’ll find anywhere. Parks and Recreation maintains trail all over town and the Snowflake Nordic Center offers 15 kilometers of well-groomed trails as well as a speed skating rink.

For downhill skiers there’s Spirit Mountain in town and Lutsen Ski Resort an hour’s drive up the North Shore.

Even the birds flock to Duluth. Since migratory birds dislike flying over open water, they follow along the shoreline, funneling into Duluth on their spring and fall journeys and making the area one of the premier birding spots in the country. Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve is a birdwatcher’s paradise. Over 300 different species of birds have been sighted locally. For up-to-date sightings, check out the Duluth Birding Report or call (218) 728-5030. Three of the Duluth B&B Inns--The Firelight Inn, The Ellery House and the Mathew Burrows 1890 Inn are designated "Birder Friendly " Inns by Explore Minnesota. Contact them if you are interested in planning a "birding" getaway.
