Facebook GroupThere are four sets of low rapids all within several hundred metres of each other. The total drop is maybe 2 to 3 m. While this is named as a falls, I would consider it a rapids.
This is located along the boundary of Ontario and Minnesota, with Quetico Provincial Park on one side of the river and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area on the American Side. It is only accessible via a multi-day paddling trip.
I do not have a photo of this location, but you can find some that have been posted to Google Maps.
