hello from a father hennepin a state park here
in isle minnesota so we are getting in some fall kayaking
today we are getting our kayaks out here on
mille lacs lake big big big lake here and we're lucky because it is pretty
calm for this like check that out and for fall time it's even better so the
colors are so lit up up here so we're so excited to get on the water today for
some kayaking and then we're going to do a little
hiking here and yeah enjoy this beautiful day it is october 4th so
happy october to all of you it is officially
fall time in minnesota and we have to take advantage so we're gonna get our
kayaks going here and get on the water
so we are at the boat access area of the park which is by the lake view
campground nice docks here to launch in and head out on the water
all right you guys we are on the water here oh
my gosh my last is beautiful today 48 degrees this morning
it is chilly the mittens are out we got the hat on
some hot coffee and this is amazing we weren't quite sure if we were
going to be able to get out today because of the weather but gosh we got
lucky it is absolutely stunning out so enjoying
these last few days on the water because we know they are limited our line here
is just so pretty with these rocks it goes all the way into the water
so this summer we were so lucky to get out on some really awesome kayaking on
lake superior which was the largest body of water
we've ever kayaked and now i would say mille lacs is second i out
of all the places went kayaking i don't think we have kayaked
um any bodies of water that were larger than a lake superior and now milac
they extra cozy here on the lake this morning when it's you know 48 degrees
i got myself a blanket here all wrapped up and it is super cozy so
that's how we roll when we fall kayak
so leaves are definitely starting to drop here the first weekend of october
but there's still quite a few on there to make it really beautiful out
wow such a pretty shoreline look at that so pretty
last time we were out here we were in our ice fishing house
yep catching what perch walleye and perch perch are our favorite
so this is a state park that we have never really
spent a lot of time in so we're really excited to like do some hiking here
there isn't like a ton of trails but it's like we're really lazy today
and mellow and we're like we don't want to do a lot we just want to like float
around on the lake just do a little hiking yeah we had a
baby shower last night so we were up kind of late um we had a baby
shower and a 40th birthday party so it's a late night so we're just kind of
chill today so we're enjoying this uh peacefulness
right here and lucky to have such beautiful calm waters and sunshine
so sunshine is warm and that definitely helps right
because if there wasn't sunshine i wouldn't be out here
because it would be chilly so happy first weekend of october cheers
check out the clarity of this water underneath it is straight
sand oh my gosh if it wasn't fall time i'd probably hop
on in here if it was a hot sunny summer day i have to keep this in mind
it's really nice
there is the pretty sand beach here at the park
obviously no one's swimming but it is a really nice beach here they have at the
state park it's all sand and as you saw earlier
in the water is all sand too
all right we just banged up here on at the beach area just kind of stretching
our legs and then probably turn around and head
back but yeah such a pretty beach
look at that
we are going to be making the turn back to the boat access
so we did about two miles round trip so we started from the lake view campground
and went all the way over to the beach area and that was absolutely
perfect the wind was in our favor today so that's always a good thing so now
time to get the kayak still back up and do some hiking so we are parked here at
like the beach parking lot area and we are gonna hike to
pope point so it's about one mile round trip here is the beach area we were just
kayaking in front of nice picnic tables map of
the state park here so we are right here and then we are gonna hike all the way
out here to pull point and back so one mile round
trip
oh this is a really nice trail look at that nice and wide and the leaves on the
ground and it just goes right along mille lacs
lake so we got some really pretty views all the way
wow it's nice out
so these last few weekends we've been up on the north shore
oh my goodness it was so busy up there everyone's gonna get into fall colors
and there's like no one here i'd rather have it it's so
peaceful and relaxing it's like such a different mood just because we're
so chill today too it's like perfect so i'm digging this
this vibe this weekend easy hiking easy hiking
beautiful kayaking sometimes it's okay to not go where everyone else is
we managed to pull points
pretty views of the lake
all right well that's cool we made it all the way out to poke point
but now i think we're gonna head into aisle and get some food
we're starving just some good food and yeah we have a bar in mind we're
hoping that they're open for dining so we'll see routine what we
