River Description

The put-in is on tribal land (of the Grand Portage band Ojibway) and may be disputed.
Portage at Pigeon Falls. River is US/Canadian border. Take out is near customs station.

Jason Stingl provides (2005-07-01):
There is a waterfall on the Pigeon that is accessable from the Canadian side. I think it is called Middle Falls. It is about 15 feet or so and kind of a horse shoe shaped drop. There is a hole upstream of the drop about 200 yards that might be fun in a playboat if you weren't too worried about the drop below (there is a rock-bar downsteam of the hole so it would be pretty safe). Not sure what level it comes in at. I think I ran it around 1500 cfs. Probably a class IV.
