About the Skyline Parkway Scenic Byway
Overlooking the lovely port city of Duluth, the Skyline Parkway offers travelers a rewarding, bird's-eye view of the harbor and the endless shoreline of Lake Superior. Recreational opportunities on neighboring trails and in local parks make this drive especially refreshing. Enjoy hiking, cross-country skiing, mountain biking and picnic areas along the way. A main attraction along skyline parkway is the Duluth Traverse Trail - a mountain bike trail that spans the entire length of the city. At the northern end of the Byway, Hawk Ridge is an excellent vantage point for watching migratory birds in spring and fall.

About this page's facts
The line is the Federal Highway Administration's scenic byways layer (HEPGIS, a snapshot of 2022-06-24, a US government work), cut at the state line and simplified for the map; the length is the line's. The designation is the program's own: the national tiers from FHWA's America's Byways roster, the rest from the layer's designation field. Road conditions, closures and seasonal gates change: check the agency's own page and the state's road conditions before you go.
