Why sign up for a Fall Colors canoe trip?
Here in northern Minnesota, Autumn changes from green to a dramatic palette of sumac red and tamarack yellow, aspen gold, maple crimson and every shade between yellow, orange and fuchsia complimented with white and red pine green. Blue sky above and blue waters below provide for reflections both on Summer’s adventurous spirit and the changes that are in the air. Wildlife is more active in the Fall. Everyone, from the smallest bird to the largest mammals are preparing in one way or another for the coming six months of Winter.
The portages are toothy trails, rusted brown with fallen needles, the first browned discarded leaves of the year cast aside like August memories. Fall is so short it seems up for drowning us with sensory overload. As we step into it, with the slightest crunch underfoot we discover how beautiful the Northwoods becomes after just a couple of cold-snap drops in the mercury.
Join us for the redwing blackbird’s song sifting out of the rushes, the cattail floss
floating above the water. A moose track trailing down the beach, the echoing sound of loon calls and beaver tail slaps. The ghost like gray of the Great Blue Heron that silently slips over your shoulder like a kite you didn’t know you were flying… But, most of all, join us for colors that are exceptional, for colors that are, for lack of a better word, because it it so fitting: transformative. These leaves pull us with a magical, migratory
force into the seasons of change.
Great meals around the campfire, brisk dips in the lake, endless photo ops of Fall colors during the day and opportunities for Northern Lights and stargazing when darkness comes. Also, it’s a fantastic time for fishing and a great time of year to canoe camp in the Boundary Waters without bugs.
