Details:

Where to go: Hike the trail from the big swimming beach to the jetty for the largest variety of flowers and leaf color.

What you'll see: Migrating birds are feasting on wild grapes, while woodbine decorates the trails with bright red leaves. Fields of asters are blooming on the campground road, mixed with bronzing ferns for an impressive sight.

Also of interest: Our marina and boat launch are closed for construction and maintenance - please observe road and trail postings while you adventure in the park.

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 76 Minnesota state parks and recreation areas for a full year from the month of purchase.
