Where to go: Final Fall Color Report. The last of any color can still be found hiking on the Wetland Overlook Trail and the Long Prairie River Trail where the aspen leaves are still hanging on. Check out the Red Oak trail for oak color and other mixed hardwoods. If you like more open hiking, then head out on the Prairie Pothole trail to see some open overlooks of the prairie and surrounding timber.
What you'll see: The strong winds in the last week has already taken many of the leaves. Most of the maple, ash, and basswood leaves are down now. But many of the oak leaves still remain on.
Also of interest: Check out Inspiration Peak, 20 miles north of Lake Carlos State Park. Seeing the fall colors from the top of the Peak is a breathe taking site.
Last updated: October 17, 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.
