I have a trip planned for early June on the Gunflint. I’m coming up from Missouri and I’m meeting my friend, hopefully in Duluth.

Here’s the big question. Is there a park-and-ride place or a safe place that we could park her car when I meet her in Duluth? Trying to eliminate two cars up there.

there is always the airport, but that could get expensive. There is a park and Ride lot right off the freeway in Cloquet, but not sure if long term parking is allowed. It's run by the Duluth Transit Authority.

When I worked in the paper industry, I had colleagues at the Duluth Mill and we left vehicles there several times. I wonder if Wal-Mart could be an option?

We did the same thing last summer. My buddy left his car in the Marcus movie theater parking lot. If I remember right it was about 5 bucks a night.

The Duluth Convention Center has multi-day parking available. It’s right off 35 near Canal Park. We’ve used this several times over the years.

I've done the Walmart thing for weekend trips and it hasn't been a problem.

Others have mentioned several pay options. If funds are a big issue, you need somewhere where there are always cars and yours won't get noticed. The right hospital parking lot would probably work.

Of course, knowing this board, you could always ask if anyone here who lives in Duluth has a spot you could park it. Offer a case of beverage or something for the trouble.

Duckman is on it. The later being the best if you can find someone. It's how friendships are born. Help a guy out. Sadly I do not live in Duluth or I'd give you a spot at my place.

I believe Superior Hiking Trail allows parking at there headquarters in Two Harbors. You could call and ask. It may be their trail head lots are also OK. It starts at WI/MN line, SE corner of Jay Cook SP.

The Bong museum in Superior has allowed me to park in their lot for several days. They just wanted to know dates, phone number, car details, and said park on the side of the lot near Perkins.

Meet in the Twin Cities - you can park at my house - just 15 minutes west of MSP airport.

I know this is an old post, but if you’re still looking you are more than welcome to park in my driveway in Cloquet.

I have taken the Landline bus to Minneapolis from Duluth. They have us park for free in the Mall parking lot between Culvers and the Ford dealership. I have parked there for a week at a time.
The last time was in Feb. !0 below at 2am, the doors were frozen shut, and then the battery was frozen because I left the dome light on. Had to wait until morning to buy a new battery.
