Where the Waterfalls Are
Keewatin sits in or near the North Shore and the Arrowhead area of Minnesota. The North Shore of Lake Superior, from Duluth to the Canadian border, is Minnesota's waterfall heartland. A series of state parks along Highway 61 protects the lower reaches of rivers that fall steeply over dark volcanic rock to the lake. Gooseberry Falls, with its stacked upper, middle and lower falls, is the region's most visited. Farther northeast, Illgen Falls near Silver Bay, Caribou Falls, Cascade Falls near Grand Marais and Pigeon Falls on the border river each have a distinct gorge setting. Inland, St. Louis County's falls around Ely lie on the lake-studded Canadian Shield, where Newton Falls sits on a stream between two lakes. Read the Minnesota waterfall guide.
