About the host
Hosted by Matthew Evingson
I am an avid supporter of Duluth and all of the outdoor activities that can be enjoyed in this area.
Why they chose this property
For the immediate access to the wonderful outdoor activities while still having quick access to the greater Duluth area.
It has quick access to some of the best Mtn biking, nordic skiing , hiking and fishing in the area. It is surrounded by a hilly and eroded landscape, beautifully mixed conifer and hardwood forest with minimal undergrowth surrounding a quiet community setting that is hard to believe is within the City limits of Duluth.
Interestingly, it is difficult to know by looking at it today but the Fond du lac area is where Duluth began. It is the exact location of where the French explorer Daniel Greysolon Sieur DuLhut came upon the indigenous Native American community residing at the shores of the river now know as the St. Louis and the head waters of Lake Superior.
