Where to go: Pope's Point offers a nice hike with many changing colors. The loop trail through the woods is also enjoyable since the majority of the bugs have disappeared.

What you'll see: Maple's are bursting with color!This weekend should be peak for maples & sumac. The park is ablaze with reds, oranges and lemon/lime.

Also of interest: You might catch a glimpse of the famous white deer of Father Hennepin State Park along with a variety of migrating songbirds. Visitors have also reported hearing several owls talking back and forth in the woods.

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.
