History |
On April 1, 1947, this site was officially designated “Kodonce River State Park”. In 1969 it was demoted and renamed “Kodonce River State Wayside”. Currently it is widely referred to as “Kadunce River State Wayside”. It protects the last mile of a gorge where Kadunce Creek (also called Kadunce River) drops 300 feet and empties into Lake Superior. The area is mapped on the USGS Kadunce River quad. The original name may have been an alternate spelling or a misspelling. Update 3/27/2024 |
