Pigeon River makes up part of the United States and Canada border between the province of Ontario and Minnesota’s Grand Portage territory. The river’s origin comes from a collection of lakes sprawled along the United States and Canada border. There are popular places along the river that include High Falls – a 120-foot high waterfall. Middle Falls, while not as impressive in size, is also still very beautiful. These falls are included within both the Grand Portage State Park in Minnesota, and the Pigeon River Provincial Park in Canada’s Thunder Bay District, Ontario. Visitors can enjoy fun river activities that include fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and whitewater rafting.
