Where to go: Climb the 100-foot observation tower for a spectacular view of the park and for a "bird's-eye view" of fall colors, as they progress through the autumn season.
What you'll see: Color is beginning to be noticed by park visitors. Most red oak trees have not yet begun to change, but the maples are at about 65-75% toward their peak color. Black ash trees, a small component of the overall forest, are just past their peak yellow color.
Also of interest: The peak of leaf color at Mille Lacs Kathio should be around the second week of October. Enjoy fall colors as well as archaeology on Sunday October 13. Archaeologists will be conducting a small-scale excavation at the Petaga Point archaeological site, with public viewing encouraged from 10am to 3pm.
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.
