A public planning process began in August 2016 to determine the future recreational uses of a mostly City-owned, 10-to-12 mile corridor along the St. Louis River between the Irving neighborhood and Jay Cooke State Park, in West Duluth. The study area includes an existing 3.3 mile long pedestrian trail, an historic rail bed, and five existing or planned river access points. A portion of the historic rail bed has been leased by the City of Duluth to the nonprofit Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad for seasonal fee-based rail excursions.
