Fall in the Upper Midwest: North Woods Color

Fall color along the Lake Superior shoreline

Maples blazing along Lake Superior, loons calling on quiet lakes, and bluffs lit up above the Mississippi. Fall color moves fast here, starting in the North Woods and working south to the river bluffs. These are our favorite maps for a fall trip here, along with century-old USGS surveys of river and logging towns and custom maps of your lake, cabin, or deer stand.
