Sibley State Park Fall Color Report for 9-19-19

Where to go
Pond view trail is a favorite for fall prairie grasses. Mt. Tom trail takes in wooded areas of the park and brings hikers to remnant prairie hill tops. The view from Mt. Tom is great reward for the hike.

What you’ll see
Forested areas of Sibley are taking on a lighter green hue as early hardwoods begin to show some yellow. Ash and Basswood are well along in turning yellow while Hackberry adds a bronze hue to the mix. Maples are beginning to turn, looking like they were dipped in yellow and gold. Woodland sunflower, goldenrod and Indian Grass provide yellow and gold. Sumac is at its peak with brilliant reds. A few asters are still in bloom.
