The Skyline Parkway was built between 1889 and 1940. The parkway follows a natural gravel terrace that once was a beach on the shore of Glacial Lake Duluth. The beach terrace formed thousands of years ago when the water level was 500 feet above the present-day surface of Lake Superior.
As
we drove along the parkway we entered Enger Park, where we found the Enger Tower. The top of the tower is 650 feet above Lake Superior. We climbed to the top of the tower and were treated to a spectacular view of Duluth Harbor and Lake Superior. We were even treated to a view of the Aerial Bridge going up so the boats out on this wonderful day could pass into and out of the harbor.We plan on leaving Duluth early on Monday and head over to the upper peninsula of Michigan.
