Annual ‘Ozawindib’ Fall Colors Walk
The forest is bursting with color as autumn peaks in the Itasca area! Join us during this afternoon hike along the Dr. Roberts Trail as we take in the wonderful fall colors and celebrate the Friends of Itasca’s annual Ozawindib Walk. This hike can be challenging but is well worth the effort as we hike through a variety of forest types. Walk through black ash and a tamarack swamp on our way to the Old Timers Cabin. Mosey on past the cabin through birch, aspen and mountain maples. Stand amongst majestic red pine as you look across Lyendecker Lake. Wrap up the hike through stands of oak. Portions of this 2 mile hike can be strenuous as we hike over the rolling glacial hills that help create the Mississippi watershed basin at its beginnings around Itasca State Park. Discover who Ozawindib was as well as other adventurers and explorers to the Itasca basin.
