Crisp
days and cool nights bring about the change of colors on the
lake shore and in the woods. Purple and white asters mix with
golden tamarack and rich green pine, red maple and aspens tinged
with yellow. There's still lots of warm sunshine for hiking the
trails to take advantage of these spectacular fall colors. Don't
forget to bring your camera.
The forest animals are busy
preparing for the cold weather ahead. Bears are getting their
dens ready for hibernation, the ponds are bustling with beaver
activity, squirrels are busy hoarding nuts and seeds for their
winter food supply. Best of all the fish are hungry, too. It's a
great time to plan a trip to catch a mixed bag of fish and have
the last shore lunch of the season. If a fishing and hunting
combination works for you, by all means, bring your gun.
Although there is no hunting allowed in Voyageurs National Park,
there are hundreds of miles of country, state forests and
logging roads that are open to the public for hunting. Grouse
and deer are plentiful.
There are full service resorts that can
accommodate you in any season. Plan on making a fall getaway. It
is one of our favorite times of the year. |
