Forested hiking trails reveal one-of-a-kind views
Unlike the more-regimented lakefront suburbs around Downtown Duluth, Bayview Heights largely fits into more rugged forestland. Locals trade immediate conveniences for a more secluded and picturesque lifestyle. “There are dead-end roads all over town that have huge rock faces and beautiful homes,” says Realtor Tom Acton of Re/Max Results. “People say they don’t want to live here, then they look at the view from a dead-end house looking over the edge, and they say ‘wow.’” The literal elevation of Bayview Heights permeates its residential and recreational sides. The Skyline Trailhead on its east end is an excellent spot not just for hiking but also taking in the landscape. “When you get to the top of Skyline, and you’re hundreds of feet in the air…until you’ve been here, you really don’t understand,” says Acton.

The outdoors are a lifestyle in this neighborhood
The area’s forests and trails overshadow its small parks. A creek passes through the Skyline hiking area, along which folks follow the Superior Hiking Trail. Those who hike far enough can reach the small waterfall at the northernmost end of the neighborhood. A little farther south is Oneota Park, where the tree line periodically opens up reveal unobstructed views of Downtown Duluth and beyond. “When you’re sitting up there looking down, you see everything,” says Acton. “Look across the bay, and you’ll see Superior. It’s a really cool place to be.” Parks in Bayview Heights can seem more mundane in comparison, though are useful in their own right. Klang Park is a hit for kids with a playground and athletics field, with goalposts for both soccer and football. Proctor Golf Course is on the other side of Route 2. The nine-hole, par-33 layout is open to the public. For those more apt to spectate, Halvor Lines Speedway features a range of auto-racing events in warmer months.

Catching the bus into Downtown Duluth
Despite its forested seclusion, locals can still catch the bus in Bayview Heights thanks to the Duluth Transit Authority, which stops along a seven-block stretch south of Boundary Avenue. The 8-mile commute might last 23 minutes by bus when boarding at the 5th Street and Boundary Avenue intersection. However, it’s not feasible to ride the bus into Downtown Superior because the route travels northeast into Duluth and then south again into Superior, rather than directly east. The airport is also tricky, with a scheduled route that lasts an hour and a half by bus. Twenty minutes in the car is much more doable.
