temperance river gorge

Temperance River State Park was said to be the only river along the North Shore without a sand "bar" at its mouth; hence the name. However, it is hardly a moderate river. A few hundred feet upstream, a thunderous water force continues to carve out a deeper path in the amazing gorge. Just a few steps away is an equally splendid falls. Farther upstream, the waters calm, and many locals swim in the pools.
