What's available in Duluth
Of the three facilities listed, two are indoor and one is outdoor. That indoor share matters in a lake town where freeze and thaw cycles run long. Indoor space keeps sun and snow off gelcoat and covers, and it keeps a shrink-wrap bill out of your spring budget. The outdoor option works for a smaller boat you can pull and tarp yourself. All three handle boats, and one also takes trailers and vehicles, so you can park the whole rig in one stop. Call ahead to confirm what fits. Indoor buildings have door heights and aisle widths, and a boat on a tall trailer can surprise you.
The facilities worth knowing
Fish Lake Storage holds a 5.0 rating across 37 reviews and offers indoor, boat, trailer and vehicle storage with cameras, lighting and 24/7 gate access. That review count is the highest on this list, which tells you something. Trailside Storage sits at 4.4 stars over 9 reviews and handles indoor and outdoor boat storage. Duluth Storage Center lists boat storage but has no reviews yet, so ask questions and look at the space before you commit. Three facilities nearby round out the options if these fill up.
Storing a boat through a Duluth winter
Pull the battery and keep it on a maintainer somewhere warm. Fog the engine, change the lower unit oil, and leave the tank full with stabilizer to cut condensation. Pull the drain plug so trapped water can't freeze and crack anything. If you're outdoors, block the trailer tongue, loosen the winch strap a touch, and cover the boat so snow slides instead of pooling. Check your insurance coverage for off-season storage, and read the facility agreement for what they require before you drop the boat off.
