Where to go: Check out Inspiration Peak wayside rest about 25 miles nw of Lake Carlos State Park. The view from the top is breath taking. In the park the prairie grasses are nice on the prairie pothole trail. All trails in the woods are nice but trees are not at peak yet.
What you'll see: Colors are getting nicer in the woods. Try any trail. There is beauty throughout the park.
Also of interest: October 5th is the annual fall festival at Lake Carlos State Park. Come out the fun activities planned for that day.
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.
