Easily accessible from Highway 61, the fast flowing Temperance River has cut deep potholes and gorges along the riverbed.
Temperance River State Park is located near Schroeder, and parking can be found alongside Highway 61 for easy access to the trail following the riverbed. There are two main falls that shape the gorges -- one just north of the highway and the other below the footbridge that is just south of the highway. It is only about a quarter of a mile from Highway 61 to the mouth of the river. Further trails follow the river north . Camping is also available with sites close to Lake Superior: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/temperance_river/camping.html
