Devil’s Kettle

Devil’s Kettle has two sides, one of which empties into the Brule River and the other of which empties into a large hole that seems to vanish. They have recently learnt where the water flows. But it's still entertaining to awe at! In Judge C. R. Magney State Park, just north of Grand Marais and a short distance from Highway 61, you may find Devil's Kettle.

It takes around two miles to reach the falls, and the hike is classed as moderate. Along the trail, there are a lot of stairs. Due to its accessibility, this climb is usually quite crowded, especially during the summer. From Highway 61, it's about a 2.5-mile round-trip climb. A path leading down to the lower falls of the Brule River can be found about.75 miles into the trip, cutting back behind and to the left of the main trail.

You will reach Devil's Kettle at the conclusion of the long journey (the trail continues as the Superior Hiking Trail). Just before the steps that will lead you to the kettle, there is an overlook where you can see the entire falls at a distance of 1.25 miles. Approximately 200 stairs separate the top of the kettle from the river, although there are benches where you may rest and collect your breath.
