Where to go: FINAL REPORT -- Both the golf course and the campground road have great views of trees in color. The Fort commissary building is a good place to see prairie grassland.
What you'll see: The trees are past their peak and most of them have lost their leaves. We've had several frosts and in the early morning you can see heavy mist in the river valley.
Also of interest: Fort Ridgely is an excellent star-watching site, with little to no ambient light. The new moon is October 15 -- come out on a clear night and be amazed by the celestial show.
Last updated: October 13, 2012Can’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.
