The Wonders, Colors & Flavors of Fall
Enjoy fall to the fullest with easy, close-to-home adventures. Soak up splashes of color with some leaf peeping, and savor handcrafted cider and craft beer along the way. It’s the perfect season for biking and hiking, whether you prefer urban paved trails or forest pathways. Or, let great golf, fishing, and paddling lure you outdoors. Fall-themed activities give you plenty more reasons to get outside – head to a pumpkin patch, go apple picking, tackle a corn maze, dress up for spooky Halloween fun or head to a college football game to cheer on your favorite team.
Wild Adventures by Day, Natural Wonders by Night
Watch breathtaking northern lights displays on the shore of Lake Superior. Catch your dinner in the walleye capital of the world. Hike trails surrounded by glistening lakes, rolling prairies and lush forests, or cross the headwaters of the mighty Mississippi. In Minnesota, many paths lead to life-long memories.
