Minnesota Fall Color Finder Map Is Back!
One of Minnesota’s most popular seasonal tools to help you find the best fall leaf colors is back online.
The Minnesota Fall Color Finder Map is now available to help leaf-peepers figure out where and when to see the best autumn colors across the state.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources updates the map throughout the fall as leaves begin changing from summer green to brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red.
The interactive map allows you to check fall color conditions in different parts of Minnesota, making it easier to plan a weekend drive, hiking trip, or scenic road trip.
You can see which areas are just beginning to change and which locations are approaching or reaching peak color.
And if you're wondering when Minnesota will put on its biggest fall show, the answer depends on where you go.
Northern Minnesota typically sees fall colors first, while central and southern parts of the state generally follow later in the season.
The DNR’s Fall Color Finder also provides information about recommended viewing locations, so you don't necessarily have to wander aimlessly down every county road hoping to find a colorful patch of trees.
For anyone who loves crisp fall air, scenic drives, and trees that look like they were slapped by a box of crayons, this is the perfect time to start planning!
