Featured Partner: Canal Park Brewing Company

Craft Beer, Great Food, & Amazing Views
Canal Park Brewing Company is a locally owned family venture. We’ve successfully owned and operated many businesses in the Twin Ports and the surrounding area for over fifty years. However, creating a brewery on the shore of Lake Superior was a longtime dream. Our ties to the brewing industry in Duluth go back as far as the 1940’s and 1950’s when our great uncle, Maxamillian Herrnberger I, was employed by Fitger’s Brewery. As a treat, he would bring these handcrafted beers and sodas to family gatherings. We salute those who’ve mastered the art of crafting beer and we’ve passed on these rich traditions from one generation to the next. Welcome, we hope you enjoy the craft beer, great food, and amazing view.

Things To Do:

Aerial Lift Bridge

Rising above the Duluth's piers, the Aerial Lift Bridge is one of Canal Park’s most iconic sights - and it’s just steps from Canal Park Lodge. Watch massive lake freighters glide in from Lake Superior as the bridge lifts to let them pass, then drops back down for vehicle traffic. The viewing area along the lakewalk and canal pier offers great photo opportunities day or night, especially at sunrise or when the bridge lights reflect on the water. It’s a must-see stop for first-time visitors and a classic Duluth moment for locals, too.

Duluth Lakewalk

Stretching along the shoreline of Lake Superior, the Canal Park Lakewalk is one of Duluth’s best ways to soak up the outdoors. This paved, scenic path winds past beaches, parks, public art, and postcard-worthy views of the harbor and open lake. Take an easy stroll, go for a morning jog, or grab a coffee and enjoy the fresh lake air - there’s something to see in every season, from summer sailboats to winter ice formations. The Lakewalk also connects you to nearby shops, restaurants, and attractions, making it a perfect “start here” adventure right from Canal Park Lodge.

Fitger’s Brewhouse Complex

Fitger’s Brewhouse Complex is a Duluth landmark where history, dining, and local shopping come together on the Lake Superior shore. Housed in the former Fitger’s Brewery - once one of the Midwest’s largest - today the brick complex features restaurants, a brewpub, coffee and dessert stops, and an eclectic mix of boutiques and galleries. Browse gifts and locally made goods, sip a craft beer, or catch live music and seasonal events. With its classic architecture, cozy patios, and easy access to the Lakewalk, Fitger’s is a fun place to spend an afternoon and a perfect stop year-round. It’s great for couples, families, and groups.

"We stayed at Canal Park Lodge over the weekend and had a blast - the rooms were so big, the view was amazing!! It was close to downtown and Lake Superior so everything we needed was just a quick walk!! The staff was absolutely incredible and so so so kind - especially Becki! She went above and beyond for helping our team, answered any and all questions - was incredibly accommodating and just all around great! I can’t wait until our next stay at Canal park lodge!"

"We stayed here for the first time last June and it was lovely. It’s extremely clean which is the most important thing to me. The continental breakfast is great and the location couldnt be better. My kids enjoyed the large pool area and throwing rocks at the beach. Our second visit was in December for Bentlyville and we were impressed by the beautiful Christmas decorations. We just reserved a room for June again this year and can’t wait to get back."

"My family and I come up to Duluth every year. We have stayed at all the hotels along Canal Park and this hotel is by far our favorite. Everyone here is welcoming, they offer a wonderful variety at breakfast. They even have apps and cookies you can eat throughout the evening. Outside they have a fire pit. Not to mention the wonderful views of Lake Superior. This hotel is close to all the shops and restaurants. Free parking and Wi-Fi, very clean pool, hot tub, and fitness center. I will definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone coming to Duluth, MN. This hotel truly caters to it's customers. Well done, Canal Park Lodge."
