The days are growing cooler in Grand Rapids and the sunsets are happening a little earlier in the evening. We love Fall for many reasons. At the Green Heron B&B, we believe Fall was made for curling up in one of our fireside chairs to read a book while drinking a cup of coffee (featuring some of our favorite fall flavors, like salted caramel or pumpkin). Of course, the view of the lake and fall colors is a nice addition to that relaxing scene.
Fall in Grand Rapids MN is a beautiful place to be. From fall color tours to fun family activities, we’d love to share some of the activities best enjoyed in the Fall in Grand Rapids.
You can also visit the DNR Fall Color Report to keep an eye on peak colors throughout Minnesota. You can view a map of the top Grand Rapids MN Fall Color Tour on the Visit Grand Rapids website.
