Where to go: Be saluted by a wall of brilliant yellow aspen, golden tamaracks and balsam poplar, forest green magnificent pines, and rich orange and maroon maple. Open your vehicle window to smell the autumn air and hear the crunch of the fallen leaves which are carpeting the Bear Head Lake State Park Drive (County Road 128). Make memories by exploring the Norberg Hiking Trail while walking under a canopy of vivid hues.
What you'll see: Bear Heads landscape is alive with color from bright yellows from the birch and balsam poplar and red and orange from maples. This is a wonderful time of season to explore the park and its diverse trails.
Also of interest: Bald eagles have been spied soaring over Bear Head Lake State Park and on the pines near the shore. Whitetail deer have been frequently spotted this week. The grey jays are back. Come and check out the new Trail Center! Also take advantage of the beautiful weather and enjoy the Bear Head Lake picnic area.
Last updated: October 4, 2013Can’t decide between a one-day or year-round park permit? The DNR has a special offer that can help. Start by purchasing a one-day permit for $5 and visit as many state parks as possible. After visiting the state parks, trade in the one-day permit by the end of that day and get $5 off the purchase of a year-round permit. Year-round permits, which cost $25, provide unlimited access to all 76 Minnesota state parks and recreation areas for a full year from the month of purchase.
