Guided Nature Walk Around the Lake
On arrival, your guide leads you on a gentle walking trail along the lake’s edge. The path winds through thick forest and open viewpoints where you can stop, listen to birds, and take photos.

Canoeing on Lake Duluti
After the walk, you’ll switch to canoes and glide quietly across the water. The lake is calm and safe, making canoeing peaceful rather than challenging.
As you paddle, you’ll see reflections of trees on the water and may spot birds flying low across the lake. This is often the favorite part of the trip—slow, silent, and deeply relaxing.
