Judge C R Magney State Park

Find Judge C R Magney State Park just a bit north of Grand Marais Minnesota. Enjoy the three waterfalls of the Brule River that flows through the park. You will be able to get a view of the upper and lower falls with just a short hike from the parking area. This may be one of the best hikes on the North Shore of Lake Superior.

Judge C R Magney State Park


Devil's Kettle white water waterfall is farther up the trail. At that point the river divides and one portion cascades fifty feet into a pool while the other segment disappears into a pothole. A local legend claims that the pothole has no bottom.

Hiking the trails offers lots of opportunity for bird watching. In autumn, expect to see hawks gather in this area to prepare for migration. The 2.5 mile round trip hike to the falls is a steep climb. There is a series of steps as you near the top.

In winter the trails are available for snowshoeing.

The Brule River is a great fishing spot for spring and fall salmon runs.

Camping in Judge C R Magney State Park

There are 27 tent and RV camp sites. Amenities include water, flush and vault toilets, showers, fire rings, grills and picnic tables.

Pets on leash are permitted.


How to Get There:

Take Hwy. 61 northest from Grand Marais for 14 miles. You will see the park entrance on the left side of the road.

A "must see" in the area is Naniboujou Lodge. If you want lodging outside the park this is a unique choice. Even if you don't stay there, stop for lunch, or tea, and see the amazing decor.

Detailed information about this, and other, Minnesota state park campgrounds can be found in Minnesota State Parks: A Camper's Guide.
