Report details:

Where to go: The Bonanza Unit is the best place to see prairie grass & hike the trails. Most of the leaves have fallen due to high winds and cool temperatures.

What you'll see: The deer and wild turkey's are very active in both the Meadowbrook and Bonanza Park. The lake is low but we conitnue to hear good fishing reports.

Also of interest: This is my final report.

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 75 Minnesota state parks and recreation areas for a full year from the month of purchase.
