Lakewalk

We are approaching the one-year anniversary of the October 2017 storm surge and the push is on to restore Duluth's Lakewalk Trail before winter arrives in the Northland.

The Greater Downtown Council has once again partnered with the Duluth YMCA for another Sidewalk Shuffle.

Starting this upcoming week, the City of Duluth will begin the process of storm water drain maintenance and restoration.

Duluth Mayor Emily Larson met the press Monday morning on the Duluth Lakewalk to address not only the extensive damages caused to the shoreline in October, but also the additional damages done by April's storm.

Here's a true sign springtime is here, and summer isn't too far off!

Reports are indicating that the damage caused by an October 27th storm in the Duluth area is estimated to be over $3 million.

Last Friday's snowstorm packed strong wind and powerful waves that did damage to many places along the Lake Superior shoreline in Duluth and along a number of other places around the head of the lake. While curiosity might have you interested in surveying the damage for yourself, it isn't a wise idea.

Last week ended with a record-setting snowstorm, which caused significant damage to the Lakewalk in Canal Park.  The City of Duluth has since been working on repairs, and are now reporting that a segment of the Lakewalk has been reopened. 

The first snowstorm of the 2017-2018 season packed a punch; breaking a snowfall record in Duluth, causing damage to portions of Duluth's shoreline, and leading to several car accidents including a couple fatal ones.

If you're planning on exploring the Lakewalk today or tomorrow, be prepared for a detour due to necessary utility work on the underground drainage system.

This amazing photo explains why the the beach and Lakewalk in Canal Park were covered in rock, snow, ice and debris.  Locals will recognize this as the lighthouse on the pier by the Aerial Lift Bridge.  My friend and photographer, Marcie Crain took the photo at the height of the first storm of the season showing an angry Lake Superior.  In my first video it showed the Lakewalk buried under rocks a

It's an amazing photo isn't it?  Locals will recognize this as the lighthouse on the pier by the Aerial Lift Bridge.  My friend and photographer, Marcie Crain took the photo at the height of the storm showing an angry Lake Superior.  Imagine what she went through to get the shot while standing on the Lakewalk.  The Lakewalk that is now buried under rock, ice and snow and may be until next Spring.
