 Well, we're only a few days into the fall season and already the colors are beginning to pop. In this week's Northwest Adventure, Josh Peterson shows us when and where to view this season's colors. Tis the season around the north country for a kaleidoscope of color just starting to appear colors ranging from reds and oranges to a variety of golds at the Lake Bemidji State Park. Staff is preparing for another busy season as fall gets underway. We do at this time years start to see people coming out for fall colors and sometimes they are local and they're just taking an afternoon drive on a lovely afternoon. Sometimes they're actually on a bigger tour of the state. So we get people from all around and sometimes from even outside the state are further away. With still plenty of green clinging to the trees, each day brings rapid change to the landscape. One thing I'm aware of is the DNR's fall color website and I know that people are turning to that more and more is kind of the place to go to see what's happening for peak colors around the state. With an ever-changing landscape, each day is crucial when it comes to fall color. While the month of September has been cold, dreary and rainy, that actually can be a very good sign to expect some bright and vibrant fall colors. The silver lining to our cold and wet September plays a key role in the longevity of our fall color season. We were relatively warm until about 10 days ago and so you don't really start getting a lot of color change until it starts cooling down because the leaves need both changes in the amount of daylight they're getting and the temperature outside. With the park expecting to peak in color over the next 10 days, different trees will change and drop their leaves over an extended period of time. Hardwoods are not the only thing that changes colors in our park. So I am particularly looking forward to getting out onto the bog walk in about two or three weeks when those tamaracks start to change and even the sphagnum mosses that are the bottom layer of the bog are going to start changing colors as well. With ball traffic expecting to pick up over the next few weeks, visitors to the state park are in for a colorful treat. With this week's Northwoods Adventure in Bemidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News.
