Where to go: Park Roads are really pretty, as well as the Beaver Pond Trail, Loon Lake, Anderson Road and Shumway Trails. The Maples at Wolf Lake particularly stunning! Seeing color on the Continental Divide Trail too! Anywhere you go you will see color. All the lakes have been like glass in the morning cloaked in a ghostly mist...Clear blue skies above...with bits of color reflected in a watery mirror...very peaceful.
What you'll see: Very Pretty around here despite the rain!!! Most everything is showing color, with Aspen ridges also starting to change. Maples, even though the leaves have thinned, are at peak, blanketed with orange, red, yellow, coral and green! Some still quite fiery! Reds are fading to a lovely orange, but the dark red of the Oaks has begun. Some are just gorgeous! Larger Aspen are changing quickly now too. Birch and small Aspen are completely yellow and starting to loose their leaves. The underbrush, Ironwood, Leatherwood and Hazel are all yellow and also starting to loose their leaves, leaving wonderful gaps in the understory. Grasses especially in the swamps are a golden, greenish, tan, pretty. Ash have lost their leaves.
Also of interest: Still a lot of Yellow-Shafted Flickers around and a few hawks and eagles. Warblers and sparrows are moving through and there seems to be a lot of Bluebirds and Jays around. 22 Swans and 17 turkeys up on/around Savanna Lake as well as an Eagle soaring overhead, this past week. Swans sometimes at Wolf Lake too. Squirrels chattering as you walk by and busy as can be. Deer moving around a lot.
Last updated: October 3, 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.
