Where to go: That Lake Superior lake effect is kicking in and leaves along the shore are slowly changing but mostly green. However, go inland and over the ridge and colors are nearly at peak. Hike the northern part of the park trails to see what is blooming inland.
What you'll see: Birches are turning yellow and cedars have gone to seed. Maples are shades of bright red and purple!
Also of interest: Take a look on the Gooseberry Falls State Park Events and Programs website for details about upcoming fall colors hikes. This weekend join us Saturday for a Fall / Colors Hike around the falls loop. Meet at the Art Column outside the Visitor Center. 1pm-2pm. On Sunday join us for Fall Photography 101! Discover some easy tips to capture the picture you want. Bring your own camera or borrow one of ours and print a picture to take home. Meet in the theater at 11:00am.
Last updated: October 1, 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.
