Travis Novitsky  > Minnesota Northwoods > Pigeon River
The Pigeon River forms the northern boundary of the Grand Portage Reservation and is also the border between the U.S. and Canada. The river is the largest stream along Minnesota's north shore, and drains a total of 610 square miles flowing eastward approximately 30 miles from its source at South Fowl Lake on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

This gallery includes images taken within Grand Portage State Park, which has about 13,000 feet of river frontage within its boundaries.

"January Meltdown"

High Falls - Grand Portage State Park, MN

During the second week of January 2013 above-average temperatures in the 30 to 40 degree range meant that most of the ice on High Falls melted away.  In January the waterfall should be locked in with ice but it looked more like it does during spring ice-out.  After that week of warm temperatures our daily highs dropped back down to around 15 degrees, so the ice started to build back up again.

"Cold-blooded spring"

April 14, 2011 - High Falls at Grand Portage State Park, MN.  There is a lot of snow in the woods this spring, and thanks to a recent week of warm temperatures combined with a nice rain storm the Pigeon River opened up nicely a few days ago.  However, winter is not quite ready to let go and last night cold temperatures returned to Grand Portage.  The cold air meant that all the mist at High Falls was freezing to the trees, shrubs and grasses throughout the night and all day today, making for an amazing icy scene.
