Some privacy

Sprawling across 4,643 acres on Lake Superior's North Shore, this park showcases the dramatic Brule River as it drops 800 feet through the final eight miles, passing three named waterfalls including the famous Devil's Kettle, where the river plunges into a pothole before rejoining downstream. The terrain shifts from rugged northern ridges with 1,000-foot elevation changes to developed lower sections. Summer campsites with modern facilities anchor the experience, while 9 miles of trails lead hikers to waterfall overlooks. Trout and salmon fishing, kayaking, and views across Lake Superior provide recreation.

  • Moderately separated here.
