There’s something special about fall in northern Minnesota.

The summer crowds have quieted down, the temperatures turn crisp and comfortable, and the trees begin putting on a spectacular show of red, orange, yellow, and gold. Around Hackensack and Walker, the Northwoods seem to slow down just enough to let you appreciate it all.

If you’ve only visited Twin Springs Resort in the summer, fall offers a completely different kind of getaway—and it may just become your favorite time to visit.

Take in the Fall Colors

One of the best things about a fall getaway is that you don’t have to go far to enjoy the scenery. 

Start your morning with coffee overlooking Pleasant Lake, take a walk around the resort, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful Northwoods setting.

When you’re ready to explore, take a scenic drive through the Hackensack and Walker area. The roads winding through forests and around the area’s many lakes offer plenty of opportunities to see Minnesota’s fall colors at their best.

Get Outside

Cooler fall temperatures make it a great time to enjoy the outdoors.

Spend a day fishing on Pleasant Lake, bring your ATV and explore the area’s trail system, or rent a bike and ride the Paul Bunyan Trail. With fewer people on the water and trails, fall offers a quieter way to experience the Northwoods.

After a day of exploring, head back to your cabin and gather around the fire pit.  There is nothing better than crisp evenings, a warm fire, and a sky full of stars.   

Explore Hackensack & Walker

Fall is also a great time to explore the communities surrounding Twin Springs.

Grab a meal in Hackensack, browse local shops, or make the short drive to Walker for even more dining, shopping, and Northwoods attractions. Be sure to check local event calendars, too—fall brings plenty of seasonal events and activities to the area.

Slow Down & Stay Awhile

Perhaps the best part of a fall getaway is simply slowing down.

Summer at the lake is full of activity, but fall offers a quieter pace. The lake is peaceful, the mornings are crisp, and the changing leaves make the perfect backdrop for a few days away.

Whether you’re planning a couples’ getaway, a family weekend, or a trip with friends, Twin Springs Resort is the perfect place to experience fall in the Northwoods.
