The Mystery of the Devil's Kettle
Tuesday Aug 20, 2019
Tuesday Aug 20, 2019
Located on the Brule River flowing through Judge C.R. Magney State Park near Hovland, MN, 20 miles north of Grand Marais, MN, you will find what is arguably the world’s most mysterious waterfall that has been baffling visitors for decades. One side of the river rumbles onto a stone embankment and down the rocks as waterfalls typically do. The other side, however, flows into a geological wonder known as the Devil’s Kettle, and… disappears? In 2016 geologists claimed to have solved the Mystery of the Devil's Kettle, but three years later many still don't believe they truly solved it. Joe and Jaye took the hike to the Devil's Kettle to see it for themselves and speak with some visitors on where they think the water goes once it enters the Devil's Kettle. Note: No small animals or children were harmed in the making of this episode.
