Where to go: Walk the upper cliffline trail to view the outlying landscape, or the bur oak trail to walk through the oak savanna with the big bluestem grasses and large oak trees set among large sioux quartzite boulders.

What you'll see: Big Bluestem grasses have a purple hue to them. Ash are turning yellow rapidly.

Also of interest: Don't forget to look for the resident Bison herd

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.
