Autumn In The Northwoods 

                       There's Simply Nothing Else Like It...

Autumn is an amazing time in the Edge of the Wilderness Resort Area.  The air becomes cooler and easier to breath, the lakes and sky seem a deeper shade of blue and the fall colors are simply breathtaking.  This is the time to plan that get-away from work and rejuvenate your soul.  Just sit back and relax on the deck of a cozy cabin or enjoy the view of brilliant colors from onboard a boat, pontoon or canoe on a crystal clear lake. 

"One of the Best Fall Color Drives in America" -- That is what MapQuest, the internet's most popular source for maps and driving directions, called the Edge of the Wilderness National Scenic Byway last year.

Take the Fall Color Tour along State Highway 38 between Grand Rapids and Effie that winds 47 miles through breathtaking fall colors and around crystal clear blue lakes.  This roadway was designated a National Scenic Byway in 1998, and once you've driven it, you'll understand why. Several turnouts provide access to hiking trails, historic sites and the Chippewa Fall Color Tour.  Some of the points of interest include the Joyce Estates, a 1930 circa estate accessible only by foot; the Suomi Hills Recreation Area - a wonderful hiking and biking trail and the Laurentian Divide.  You can read more about the scenic byway by clicking on its button at the left.

Fall in the Northwoods also means the opening of Hunting Season for several types of game.  Click Here for more information on Fall Hunting Opportunities in the Edge of the Wilderness Area.
