Ready for a getaway with your best friend? Look no further than Duluth, Minnesota. The port city on Lake Superior is a popular getaway for Midwesterners throughout the year, and has recently seen a population surge to do its perception as a refuge from climate crisis.
And with mild temperatures spring through fall (winter is typically below freezing), plenty of outdoor attractions coupled with small businesses, this lakeside city offers the perfect getaway for dogs and humans alike. To help welcome four-legged visitors, an entire dog guide (complete with window front stickers throughout town) helps demarcate many of the dog-friendly shops, bars, restaurants, hotels and more for the Western Lake Superior region. Your pup may see it as a free treat guide, but for human travelers, it’s a fantastic resource to bring your pet on the road and never have to leave them behind.

Park benches, picnic tables, small businesses, a public orchard, restrooms and more dot the path, so there are plenty of spaces to stop and rest.
Duluth is packed with excellent micro and craft breweries, many of which are exceedingly dog friendly. Just of the Lakewalk, Canal Park Brewing Company welcomes four legged friends to the expansive patio, where humans can enjoy a cherry bombe blonde ale, cheese curds and more local specialties with lakeside views. Bent Paddle Tap Room also has a pup-approved patio, and Hoops Brewing welcomes dogs to the biergarten. Wild State Cider is a popular spot in Lincoln Park for hard cider and quality time with dogs, and Vikre Distillery welcomes dogs indoors while their humans taste spirits with locally foraged botanicals.
Located in the heart of downtown, the Sheraton Duluth Hotel is the perfect HQ for a dog-friendly getaway in Duluth. Guest rooms are spacious, clean and well-attended, and many offer prime views of Lake Superior.
