Information from Jason Stingl:<br />
There is a very good correlation to the rivers on the north shore near Grand Marais and the gauge on the Pigeon. When the Pigeon river is over 1000 that *might* indicate (at least some of) the North Shore is running. If the pigeon is at 1500cfs or more the North Shore *is* running. <br />
<br />
Also 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.
