Chippewa
National Forest
Fall Color Report
Week of October 6, 2008
This week you will find lots of color this week in the Chippewa
National Forest! The drive from State Highway 371 from Walker
to Cass Lake is beautiful at this time. The red oaks are displaying
a nice burgundy shade, the aspen is yellowish-gold and the
maples are hanging on to their bright orange color. Any forest
road you choose to travel will display appealing leaf color
at this time!

The Ladyslipper
Scenic Highway from Cass Lake to Blackduck, MN is showing
a little color this week but leaves not quite at peak yet
in the Chippewa National Forest. The storm last weekend brought
leaves to the ground but look forward to the next few weeks
for some brilliant colors!

Leaf color
is slowly starting to change this week at the Chippewa National
Forest. Patches of yellow leaves in ash trees and orange-red
in the maples can be seen here and there. For the most part,
leaves are still green. Sumac is a nice shade of red at this
time. Color change will progress with the warm, sunny days
and cool nights. The peak color in our area is expected the
end of September. More color coming soon!
