In many people’s opinion, fall is the best time to travel the canoe country. The weather is gorgeous, warm days and cool nights. The bugs are long gone and the fishing is still excellent. But as the days turn shorter, the leaves on the aspen, poplar, maple and birch trees all lose pigment, which create such wonderful contrasting colors on the shorelines and ridges. If you haven’t seen the area in mid to late September, you’re missing out. The trip options are numerous, but a round trip boat launch to American Point on Saganaga Lake will provide you with one of the best backdrops to experience the fall colors that the Arrowhead of Minnesota has to offer.
