Food scene
The Wabegon is a surprise. It presents as a country dive bar - which it is, but you walk in and there's also a family restaurant and deck.
The burgers are excellent and they're on special on Wednesdays.
Be warned the beer comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large. The large is essentially a bucket -- Hello, Wisconsin!

This is a sweet spot with excellent ice cream, house-made baked goods (they use our farm's berries seasonally) and good coffee.
It's also a place you can buy greeting cards and little gifts.

Wild State makes cider using some of our fruit, so we're big fans. Also, they have soft-serve ice cream, which is kinda whacky wonderful.

Carlton Meat and Grocery is bigger than a little Market but smaller than a supermarket. You can get what you need there, plus housemade meats.

Sightseeing
Sometimes I cannot believe we get to live next to this place.
The rock formations are stunning, the river wild and beautiful and there are free guided tours throughout the summer.
Jason and I have a favorite swim spot that we're happy to share with you.

There's an 8-mile sandy beach beyond the Duluth Aerial Lift Bridge. There's public parking at the "S Turn" where the welcome sign is and at the end of the far end of the point.
There's a hiking trail at the end, too.

In the heart of Duluth's Canal Park, set against the majestic Aerial Lift Bridge, is a Great Lakes vessel you can’t miss.
Despite carrying iron ore and coal for 40 years through treacherous storms, the William A. Irvin remains in pristine condition today. Don’t miss your chance to tour the proud flagship of U.S. Steel’s Great Lakes Fleet.

Swimming
This spot was recently posted for not swimming, FYI.
If you stop at the parking area where the William Munger State Trail crosses E Hwy 210 before the state park, it's a short trail walk to our favorite swimming spot.
We'd love to tell you exactly how to get there.

This is one of my favorite swimming places on earth. You can park in Chester Park's lot, cross Skyline Parkway, and head down the trail on either side - we tend to select the right-hand side (west).
You'll get there in about 15 minutes, passing a few waterfalls along the way.
It's ridiculous that this is right in town.
