Fall color tapestry below Sawmill Dome, September 2010 |

The birch trees are already changing at North Shore state parks. Head seven miles in from Finland on Lake County Road 7 to explore George H. Crosby-Manitou State Park and the Yellow Birch Trail, which should be lovely this next week. Smoke from the Pagami Creek fire may be blowing that way, so be ready to shift plans east or west depending on the wind conditions.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources predicts an excellent fall color season. Drought in the Ely area has triggered early colors in the region’s birch trees. Check on the latest fall colors with a report from the DNR.

Sawmill dome? Where is that?
Or do you mean Sawbill?
I'm confused?
Hey, Anonymous, great question, those two are confusing. Sawmill Dome is along the Superior Hiking Trail, about 1.5 miles west of County Road 6 in the Little Marais/Wolf Ridge area.
Sawbill is a nickname for mergansers and is the name of a Lake north of Tofte (and the road leading to it).
