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.

He also was helpful on giving us the most logical pricing options. About the location: this is located downtown inside the adventure zone building. You will need to find parking and most likely pay to park either on the street or the lot. Looks are deceiving. It looks small from the outside but there was plenty of wall and a back area for bouldering. There was also a seating area upstairs. Along with Ben, Anthony helped us get set and both were very patient and friendly with our group. We had many first time climbers and they both encouraged them and made them feel comfortable. Thank you so much for the amazing experience. Many of our youth said it was a highlight of the weekend.
