Back in late August of this year (2014), my wife and I were in the Duluth area to shoot a wedding. We stayed in Brule, WI at Brule River Classics the evening before. We had a little time to explore before sundown. County Road H north of Brule parallels the Brule River almost all the way to Lake Superior; Hwy 13 will take you the rest of the distance. To get to the rivers end, Brule River Road is a short jaunt just off of Hwy 13. We anticipate coming back this way. This area was quite nice with plenty of opportunities to explore – including kayaking.
The reddish water was a bit of a surprise. I had originally thought it was a muddy Brule flowing into the blue Superior, but that wasn’t the case. The shoreline on the big lake must have consisted of this red clay; steady waves on the clay produces the color. A beautiful location to take in a sunset.

Beautiful shots, Dan, of a place I’ve not seen. Have not explored northeastern MN much.
It is actually WI just east of Duluth. It is beautiful country and well worth the drive.
Love the black and white shots!
It was a wonderful surprise to see the redness of the water at the mouth of the Brule River. A beautiful place; one that I cannot wait to explore more!
