About
Overlooking the lovely port city of Duluth, the Skyline Parkway offers travelers a rewarding, bird's-eye view of the harbor and the endless shoreline of Lake Superior. Recreational opportunities on neighboring trails and in local parks make this drive especially refreshing. Enjoy hiking, cross-country skiing, mountain biking and picnic areas along the way. A main attraction along skyline parkway is the Duluth Traverse Trail - a mountain bike trail that spans the entire length of the city. At the northern end of the Byway, Hawk Ridge is an excellent vantage point for watching migratory birds in spring and fall.
