greenheron-fall viewThe 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.
