Where to go: You can see a good view of the bluff in the early morning and early evening at the fishing pier on the north end of Snelling Lake. For those who can't take the 3 mile treck around Pike Island, Picnic Island offers some beautiful views around the boat launch area and along the shore just about anywhere on the Island.
What you'll see: The cool windy weather has whipped many of the dry colorful leaves off of the trees. The remaining colors include rusty brown, golden yellow and small patches of sumac is still glowing red along Snelling Lake and roadways.
Last updated: October 9, 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.
