Where to go: Big Woods Trail on the north end of park showing lots of yellow/gold colors. Road to picnic area still has some maples with bright yellow color.

What you'll see: Most maples are past their peak color, but are still showing yellow and gold. Oaks have good color with many shades of red and maroon. Many trees have lost leaves or have turned brown in the past few days.

Also of interest: Songbirds, waterfowl,and hawk migrations have begun.....listen for owls calling. Excellent hiking conditions, Kayak/Canoe rentals continue on weekends thru mid October. Great conditions for backpack camping....reservations are recommended for weekends through October.

Special Offer for Park Permits

Can’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.
