Hiking Temperance River State Park in Minnesota |
About
Oct 18, 2018 Hiking the Temperance River State Park in Minnesota for our annual family hiking trip takes us to a great state park that we can't wait to get back to! The weather hampered some filming, so I apologize the limited footage in advance. Temperance River State Park is truely a gem along the Minnesota Northshore. |
TEMPERANCE RIVER STATE PARK | Hiking & Waterfalls | Minnesota’s North Shore on Lake Superior |
About
Jul 21, 2020 TEMPERANCE RIVER STATE PARK | Hiking & Waterfalls | Minnesota’s North Shore on Lake Superior Temperance River State Park is so unique and one of my favorite state parks on Minnesota’s North Shore. The river flows deep within a gorge which makes the hiking trails so great because the waterfall trails run right along the river gorge. There are several small falls along the length of the gorge. It's an easy hike to go along the river and see the water churning. You do not need to pay to enter the state park if you park along highway 61—so be sure to stop and enjoy the beautiful views and great hikes! If you want to see more vlogs like this be sure to give this a thumbs up! Xoxo Jeanie |
