Judge Magney
State Park reflects
Manitou's essence, but is more accommodating to tent and trailer campers.
While many boast of the Brule's fishing, the park's real claim to fame
is the Devil's Kettle [pictured above]. Rumored to have no bottom, this bottomless cauldron
perpetually drinks down half the river's water flow. The hike up treats
you to excellent vantage points of the Lower and Upper Falls and the
Devil's Kettle.
The park name honors Judge Magney, an advocate of state parks,
who helped establish 11 state parks and waysides on the North
Shore. Take a moment and tip your hat to this visionary. |
