Minnesota Fall Colors

The colors are peaking for the fall change of season. I look for the leaves to really to fall in the next week with the warm and dry forcast. This is the time to take a drive thru the Chippewa National Forest or the Blackduck State Forest for some awsome scenic trips. The resort is really changing right now and a ride on the pontoon really was beautiful this past week.

Fall colors are peaking

Here in northern MN the leaves are right a peak and will be there for another week or so. This is the time to take a scenic drive thru the northwoods to view the change of seasons. The back roads around Gilstead and Webster lakes is a great place to drive. Another trip to take is one farther north which takes you up by Red Lake and that area. There might be a good chance at seeing some black bear while taking this drive. Visit http://www.whitebirchresort.net/ for more details.

Minnesota fall color report

The Virginia creeper is full of bright red leaves, and asters and goldenrods are at full bloom in the open areas. The tamaracks in some parts of the bog have turned golden. The cattails and grasses are nearing peak shades of gold and rust. The park trails are best to observe the many signs of fall. Fall color at Lake Bemidji State Park is expected to reach peak in the next 10-12 days.

Minnesota fishing in the fall

The cool-down has begun for the fall in the lakes around Blackduck. There is always a chance for a short term warm-up in September and even into October, but the general trend is for colder temperatures, with the first frost possible at any time. This is the time to plan a trip up north to catch some fish. visit http://www.whitebirchresort.net/
