Where to go: Hike the trails or paddle on the Mississippi river for a view of old growth white pine, oaks and maples. Pack a favorite lunch, relax and unwind at the picnic grounds along the river bank. Schoolcraft offers only day use in the Fall, Winter and Spring. The campground is closed 9/2/13 through 5/7/14.
What you'll see: Old growth white pine, oak, maple and ash trees along the Mississippi River Valley. Maples are a brilliant red, orange and yellow. Oaks and Aspen leaves are turning with peak color nearing. Peak fall colors typically occur last weekend of September through the first weekend of October.
Also of interest: The Mississippi River is a great flyway for canadian geese, ducks and swans. Often they can be viewed from the hiking trails along the riverway.
Last updated: September 29, 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.
