Where to go: With one of the western most examples of Sugar Maple / basswood forest in Minnesota the Redwood River Valley running through Camden State Park provides some of the best Fall leaf color shows around. Colors are viewable throughout the park and from the overlook you can see for nearly ten miles down the Redwood River valley.
What you'll see: Camden State park contain expansive prairies, oak savannas, sugar maple basswood forest and floodplain forest communities. Sumac is brilliant red and the prairie grasses are hues of deep red. Many of the cottonwoods have dropped their leaves. The Bur oaks are still holding their green leaves while the maple, elm, basswood and ash trees are well on their way to full color.
Also of interest: Fall is a great time to visit the park. Great color, cooler weather and more solitude. Come on out !
Last updated: October 1, 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.
