Lakewalk Rebuilds Begin This Fall | Duluth News

Duluth’s Lakewalk is gearing up for major upgrades as crews prepare to rebuild a storm-vulnerable shoreline section, starting September 28 with retaining wall construction. A new ADA-compliant bypass trail at Leif Erikson Park will soon close access west of the park—though the park stays open—with pedestrians rerouted between Fitger’s and the park. While temporary disruptions are expected, city officials stress long-term gains: safer, more accessible trails, improved coastal resilience, and better water access points. The $13.3 million project, funded by federal grants and local contributions, spans from Canal Park to 27th Ave. East, with completion targeted for December 2027.
