Color Changing Lights At Night (Video)
One visitor we ran into told us that the tower doesn’t always have color-changing lights on.
The visitor also told us It is only for special events, I’m not sure if this is true or not.
Our visit was over Labor Day weekend and the lights were on a rotation between patriotic red, white, and blue.
Japanese Peace Garden
There are four elements to a Japanese garden – stone, water, man-made element, and flowers.
Short Hiking Trail Off Parking Lot
Then there is a short hiking trail off the parking lot that I’m sure most people miss. If you make a trip to this location be sure to take that trail. It goes up a few stone stairs to a platform called the Enger scenic overlook.
If you continue on up the stone outcrop along the edge you will have some fabulous views. Pictured below is a picture of the Blatnik Bridge which connects Superior, WI, and Duluth, Minnesota.
Skyline Scenic Overlook At Night
If you happen to visit Enger Park in Duluth for yourself at night, be sure to drive down to the skyline scenic overlook to see the city of Duluth. It is a sight to see.
Hoped you enjoyed the tour of the park. Now, get out there and explore somewhere yourself!!
