Minnesota Point

Minnesota Point, also known as the Park Point neighborhood of Duluth, Minnesota, United States;[1][2] is a long, narrow sand spit[3] that extends out from the Canal Park tourist recreation-oriented district of the city of Duluth.

In the 1850s, the Saint Louis River was established as the border between neighboring states Minnesota and Wisconsin and the two ports, Duluth (Minnesota) and Superior (Wisconsin), became fierce economic competitors for shipping traffic off of Lake Superior.

Affectionately known as "The Old Standby", this lighthouse is now an abandoned ruin listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Beginning in 2023, North Shore LS LLC (managed by Kathy Cargill, member of the Cargill family) began purchasing and renovating properties located on Minnesota Point,[8] owning twenty properties by March 2024.

[9] Cargill, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal stated that her intentions were to beautify and modernize the neighborhood,[10] including building amenities such as a coffee shop and a complex for pickleball, basketball and street hockey.
