“We were talking about it before it feels a lot like November right now, not even September. It’s just almost kind of like of an end of fall feel but we don’t even have the fall colors here yet,” said Mallory Eisenreich, Green Bay.

And while there is no fall foliage just yet, leaves can already be seen on the ground.

“It is really pretty, we noticed when we were on the hike that the wind was coming through the trees. I really like it, especially the water too,” Eisenreich said. “It did seem a little soon because I did miss summer weather a lot but it’s kind of nice to not be sweating on a hike.”

For others this Labor Day weekend, they spent it camping and grilling.
