The map for this is deceiving. Dululth's Graffiti Graveyard is under Interstate 35 so you won't see it driving around. When my friend and I went, we parked by the library, walked down by the railroad tracks, crossed some water on a rickety-ass board that served as a bridge and barely managed to haul ourselves over the concrete wall without falling in that sketchy creek or whatever you want to call it.
It's not very accessible and kind of creepy and muddy under there, but if you want to see a quarter mile of graffiti under the highway, this is the place.
