Beautiful waterfalls that seem to never end. After viewing the canyons above and below the road bridge make sure to go upstream and find the high falls, less than a mile away and truly gorgeous. Brav… Full review by qajaqrolls

Great hidden gem with a quick walk up to the falls. Very neat to see how the water has slowly carved out the rocks and making pools. Full review by tstill2000

Q:
Is the $7 daily pass usable for any of the state parks along the coast (as long as they're visited in the same day)? Thanks!
A:
The pass will work for any state park on that day.
Q:
reviewers mention the parking off the highway - is it an actual lot or just some roadside thing? thanks!

There are actual parking spots. It's only one car deep, but there are marked spots.
Q:
Hi! Is there any particular trail we should take to get to the swimming hole or cliff jumping?
A:
Temperance River SP is really not very big and it is easy to navigate the trail system. There are only two trails, the Gitchi-Gami Trail and the Superior Hiking Trail. Both go far …
A:
Temperance River SP is really not very big and it is easy to navigate the trail system. There are only two trails, the Gitchi-Gami Trail and the Superior Hiking Trail. Both go far beyond the park boundaries. Just get a map of the park, either online or upon arrival at the park. Find the Temperance River Gorge and the waterfalls on the map and take the trail that leads to it from where you are standing. The gorge is where you can swim, jump off the cliff and view the waterfalls. Have fun!
Q:
Are the hikes to the falls accessible for someone who has some difficulty walking on uneven surfaces?
A:
It could be a bit difficult. The main trail that I remember starts on an even paved path but that ends quickly and I don't think you get a view of the falls from that paved path. It's a short …
A:
It could be a bit difficult. The main trail that I remember starts on an even paved path but that ends quickly and I don't think you get a view of the falls from that paved path. It's a short distance before you see falls, but it involves walking over uneven boulder surface and potentially also unpaved dirt trail with tree roots. So if the short distance (think less than 0.5 miles). The park map (available on the state parks website) shows the Gitchi Gami State Trail is another option for seeing the gorge if that will suffice - it's not the falls but in some ways I thought the gorge was more dramatic.
Q:
Where does the river originate?
A:
looks like from Brule Lake.
