Summer in Duluth is something special. Long days, cool lake air, and endless ways to explore—it’s the kind of place where every day feels like an adventure waiting to happen.
And when you stay at Trailside, you’re never far from any of it.
Hit the Trails First
Duluth is known as one of the best outdoor destinations in the Midwest—and summer is prime time.
From Trailside, you can jump straight onto miles of hiking and biking trails. Whether you want a quick morning ride or a full-day trek, it’s all right outside your door.
Top summer activities:
- Mountain biking on flowy forest trails
- Hiking through scenic overlooks
- Trail running under shaded tree cover
Cool Off by Lake Superior
Even on warm days, Lake Superior keeps things cool.
Head down to the water for a refreshing break—walk the shoreline, dip your feet in, or just relax and enjoy the view.
Best spots to check out:
- Canal Park
- Park Point Beach
- Brighton Beach (great for a more rugged, natural feel)
Paddle, Explore, Repeat
If you’re looking to get on the water, Duluth delivers.
Try kayaking along the shoreline or paddleboarding in calmer areas. It’s a completely different way to experience the lake—and one you won’t regret.
Food, Drinks & Summer Vibes
After a day outside, Duluth’s local spots come alive.
Think outdoor patios, cold drinks, and relaxed energy. Breweries, food trucks, and lakeside restaurants make it easy to unwind.
Perfect summer combo:
Trail ride → lake stop → brewery → sunset
