Maplewood State Park

39721 Park Entrance Road Pelican Rapids, MN 56572

Hiking Club Trail Description

Maplewood State Park is known for its hardwood trees, including sugar maple, basswood and oak. Beautiful at any time of year, a hike in the fall is especially impressive: These same trees provide a stunning display of fall colors, with the maple forest turning brilliant shades of orange, gold and red. The trail begins at the trail access parking area, located one-quarter mile from the park office. Hike south from the parking area to the Knoll Campground, then along the west side of Bass Lake to the trail shelter. The trail then heads east, then north between Beers and Bass lakes.
