It's quite popular, with many people jogging, walking their dogs, and overall enjoying the outdoors. The path is nicely paved and well maintained. Plenty of benches and great places to take photos. I enjoyed my visit during the summer, but I'm not sure how popular it is during the winter. Beware, this walk takes you past Love Creamery. It's hard to resist ordering a scoop or malt when you walk past, especially on a hot summer day. This is also a great place to people watch, if you're interested in that type of stuff. As far as parking, there's no dedicate lot as far as I know, but plenty of street parking.

The park was right in the heart of Duluth and offered up some very fun yet wild hiking trails to explore. There was even a waterfall to find at one point.

Great views of the lake as you are driving up the hill as well. I highly recommend a visit.

Agate Bay Beach sits beside the waterfront town of Two Harbors, Minnesota…read more First off, the town of Two Harbors, MN is a worthwhile stop to make while driving along the popular 150-mile North Shore Scenic Drive up the northeastern part of Minnesota's coast. Here at Agate Bay, you can pause to appreciate the setting viewing onto the endless waters of Lake Superior. The big highlight is walking on a cement pathway that extends out to a remote lighthouse observation point. This pedestrian strip only takes 10 minutes to walk, but it affords you a picturesque overlook into the wide-open appearance of Lake Superior. You can breathe in the fresh air while making the stroll over to the lighthouse and ultimately, coming to Agate Bay allows for a casual rest from driving, if you're not in any hurry. While visiting back in early June, there were a couple of cars parked in the lot and just a few tourists checking out this cool little beachfront. Generally, it was quiet and not nearly as congested as I had anticipated it to be for peak summer visitations. The historic lighthouse at the end of the beach pier is a rewarding opportunity for a picture with Lake Superior in the background. Lol, it made me ponder...how many of the 5 Great Lakes had I been to??? But overall, it's a pleasant moment outside. And definitely, making the journey on North Shore Scenic Drive is the epitome of enjoying nature, with loads of beautiful state parks and gushing waterfalls. Lastly, located just before the walking pier, they have a few picnic tables set up which is a nice chance to enjoy lunch with a view. From here at Agate Bay, I'd suggest grabbing dessert 3 miles away at Betty's Pies before spending time at fantastic MUST DO - Gooseberry Falls State Park.

There are also a lot of portable restrooms, I assume because there are regular festivals and other events here. None of that was today and it was quite peaceful. I sat here for a while hoping the wind would drop down but it didn't. So I braved up and walked out on the breakwater as far as I could to get close to the Two Harbors Light House on the breakwater. Thankfully, there's a railing and I know how to swim and there were a bunch of people over there on the beach watching Mister Stupid. So I'd probably have been okay if I took a tumble. The things I do for a picture! Once I returned to safe ground, I watched the Radcliffe R. Latimer (Sault Ste. Marie) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radcliffe_R._Latimer back out and set sail for points unknown. Very cool to watch. [Review 17892 overall - 112 in Minnesota - 1413 of 2022.]

The time we spent here was so exciting and super fun! We did make it out with a little more than two minutes to spare. There were 7 of us in the room out of a possible 8. I like that the groups are kept small. My two teens and I were paired with two young couples who were friends. We all worked together and every single one of us contributed to our eventual escape!
