It really is a beautiful time of year, and the DNR is making it easy for you to find outdoor daytime and nighttime activities to take in the best that Fall has to offer. Here are just a few of those activities.
Supermoon Spectacle: Light Up Your Night
Mark your calendar for October 17 to gaze at the closest supermoon of 2024! What’s a supermoon? When a full moon happens at the same time the moon’s orbit is closest to Earth, you get a supermoon. To us earthlings, a supermoon appears slightly larger and brighter than a normal full moon. Love looking up at the stars? Join us for an adventure after dark! Check out our nighttime programs and events.
Fall Fest Candlelight Hike: Lake Bemidji State Park
Join us at Lake Bemidji State Park on October 12, 2024, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. for a magical night at our Fall Fest Candlelight Hike! Bring your costumes and experience the woods in a whole new light as the trail glows with the warm light of candles. You’ll wander through the shadowy trees, feel the cool autumn breeze, and hear the rustle of leaves. This year’s theme is sssnakes – perfect for a night of fun and mystery.
The family-friendly event features a candlelit hike along the paved Paul Bunyan State Trail, along with crafts, games, and treats at the Visitor Center. You can also explore a nature table that is all about our slithery snake friends. And, if you are feeling adventurous, you will even get a chance to see what a real snake feels like!
