Duluth Revamps Lakewalk for Safety and Access | Duluth News

Duluth is pouring $13.3 million into a massive Lakewalk overhaul—rebuilding a 2.5-mile waterfront trail from Endion Station to 27th Ave East—to boost safety, accessibility, and shoreline resilience against Lake Superior’s waves. The project widens paths, upgrades lighting and signage, adds benches and bike racks, and installs new bypass trails to tackle steep sections. Key spots like Leif Erikson Park and Endion Station will see major improvements, including better pedestrian-bike flow. Construction began in August, with Phase 1 wrapping in October before pausing for winter; major work resumes spring 2027, aiming for full completion by December 2027. Expect detours and strict adherence to signs—trespassing is unsafe and discouraged. This is more than a beautification project—it’s a vital upgrade for Duluth’s most beloved corridor.
