Seems like a pretty nice rest area. Very nice views of Duluth and surrounding rivers. You can see into Wisconsin from the view spots. Facility seemed clean. However, the drinking fountains are closed currently due to COVID-19. Nice outdoor seating spots and good shade. Theres a dog area as well and am interesting sculpture and plaques with Minnesota historical tidbits on them.

This place has probably the best view of Duluth. The balcony of the information center is where you can spend some time enjoying the scenic view of Duluth and lake superior. I will definitely stop here next time before entering Duluth.

,Had a great stop here on vacation. Ran into a friend from Minneapolis on random chance in the parking lot. Was charging my phone in the lobby and was greeted by JEFF the front desk attendant. He was very polite, helpful and we shared a few minute conversation. He is a great asset to this center. Clean restrooms and outside area.peaceful place at night to rest if tired from travelling.

Of all the rest areas across the country I’ve stayed at, this is on the top 5 list. The bathrooms are incredibly clean, great views, nice packets of things to do in the area and very safe feeling. Definitely recommend.

Great place to stop and gather information not just for Duluth area, but for dozens of awesome Minnesota travel adventures. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about various places and activities. We took lots of information to better plan our next adventures up north. I would highly recommend stopping here for the latest information and ideas for your next trip/activity.Rest area is well-maintained and clean. Also has vending machines, trails to stretch your legs, and places to picnic while enjoying an amazing view of Duluth.

Our favorite little stop as we roll into Duluth. Beautiful vistas, informative historical markers, stark sculpture ... this place has it all. Be sure to take a roll down the grassy hill; I promise youre not too old.

Nice view of Duluth & harbor & lift bridge as well as bridge to Wisconsin. Due to COVID-19 the information center was closed so no way to gather ideas for things to do & see in the area. Maybe another time. Several picnic tables & shady areas to relax.

Nice place to stop and gather information. The staff is very friendly and there is a nice view of the Harbor. The one complaint I have is the water pressure in the bathroom. I went to wash my hands and water got splashed on my shirt and pants.

The rest stop gives amazing views of Duluth and Lake Superior. The facilities are well kept and clean and the information booth was well staffed and knowledgeable about Duluths sights and road construction in the area.

Truck parking is angled so bad. If brakes fail guess truckers going into interstate. Nice place besides and beautiful view.

During a winter storm, we stopped to walk our dogs and a man that was shoveling came up to us and grumbled out “make sure you clean up your mess.” Older man with a beard— minnesota nice? Not!

In all our travels never have we learned so much about an area, and a whole state, than we did here yesterday. The charming ladies manning the desk knew so much about Minnesota that we adjusted our plans to stay longer and enjoy more. And were now heading to the headlands of the Mississippi River in Itasca, MN instead of Canada .The center was immaculately clean and the landscaping was lovely Thanks ladies.
