Report details:

Where to go: The recent storm knocked many of the leaves off the trees, so we are past peak for fall color viewing.

Also of interest:

There is construction currently on the eastern side of the park (the day use area is being constructed). Please stay out of that section, as to avoid any conflicts with the heavy equipment.

If you want to see a greater portion of the new park, visitors can participate in the Lake Vermilion Geocache. It takes visitors to some of the more scenic spots on the property, which will be good for fall color viewing. Coordinates for the geocache can be found at www.mndnr.gov/vermilion.

Mine tours at Soudan Underground Mine State Park will be open the first three weekends in October, including Friday, October 19. Call the park for details.

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.
