Hundreds of years ago, the Ojibwe-Anishinaabe named the water Kawimbash, deep hollow river. The water has been carving into the rock for thousands of years. Today, we know it as the Temperance River and it’s considered one of the deadliest in Minnesota.
Located between Schroeder and Tofte, the Temperance River flows 39 miles from Brule Lake to Lake Superior. It is a perennial favorite among tourists and locals alike. And why not? It boasts many striking waterfalls, multiple hikes in almost every direction, and even connects to the Superior Hiking Trail. There are three public campsites, and a paved bike trail runs east/west across the river from Schroeder all the way to Lutsen. Temperance State Park is one of the busiest sites on the North Shore.
