About Temperance River

The Temperance River flows through Temperance River State Park on Minnesota's North Shore — a dramatic high-gradient stream with a deep gorge and a series of waterfalls just upstream of Lake Superior. Strong spring steelhead runs, fall coho salmon, and native brook trout above the falls. The Temperance is a classic North Shore picture-river — small but fierce.
