Details:

Where to go: The bluebird trail at the Meadowbrook Area shows the changing season in the shades of wildflowers, maples, and grasses. The big stone along the trail is a picture perfect place to note changes in the plants.

What you'll see: The Fall feeling is in the air. The Green ash are all yellow. The sumac's red color is like a roaring fire going up the hillsides. The maples are still not showing signs of turning yet.

Also of interest: Bonanza area has great trails with tall Burr oak that are fun to watch change colors.

Special Offer for Park Permits

Can’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.
