High Falls on the Pigeon River in Grand Portage State Park
Grand Portage State Park is located at the northeastern tip of Minnesota on the Canada–United States border. Its 120-foot High Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state and has been an icon of the area of centuries. The falls and rapids that proceed it were obstacles that led the voyageurs and fur traders of the 1700s to craft the area's name Git-che-O-ni-ga-ming (Ojibwe) or Grand Portage (French). In order to connect heavily-used trade routes, these men had to traverse nine miles around the falls from the Pigeon River to Lake Superior.
