Report details:

Where to go: ***Final Report*** Take a hike up to Lookout Mountain for views of Lake Superior and the last Cascade River valley.

What you'll see: Cooler temperatures and strong winds have blown most of the color off of the trees and onto the trails. It's a fun time to see the Lake views through the trees!

Also of interest: It's a wonderful time to visit Cascade River State Park! The waterfalls are still going strong and photo opportunities are excellent. Come on up for a fall adventure!

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.
