Where to go: Drive through the park on Hwy 21 to see prairie grasses. The golf course, campground and upper picnic area are the best places to see leaves in color.
What you'll see: Big bluestem is turning golden. Maples, cottonwoods and ash are nearing their peak. The dry weather has made a lot of leaves wither and fall before reaching their full color. Flowers are past peak.
Also of interest: Fall is a beautiful time at Fort Ridgely!
Last updated: October 2, 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.
