Fall colors are right around the corner, the most beautiful time of year around Mille Lacs!
The Fall Color Finder is live ππ
Track the gorgeous shift from summer green to autumn splendor with our iconic map! These subtle changes are observed by dedicated park staff across all Minnesota state parks and reported weekly to bring you the latest map every Thursday. If you want to dive deeper, you can even use the slider function on the webpage to move backwards or forwards to compare how the map looked in past years. It's like having a personal fall color guide right in your pocket!
The next time you see park staff while on the trails, give them a smile, wave or thank youβthey make the beloved Fall Color Finder map what it is!
