River doesn’t stop. It just flows and finds its own way. But what if I tell you that it suddenly disappears? Will you believe it? After reading this, you might. Judge C. R. Magney State Park, located on scenic Minnesota State Highway, 40 km from the Canada–United States border is best known for “The Devil’s Kettle”, an unusual waterfall located on the Brule River. Around 2.4 km from its mouth, the river splits into two forming 2 water falls. While the eastern one goes over a two-step, 50-foot waterfall and continues downstream, the Western one falls into a pothole and disappears. For years people and hydrologists have been trying to find the exit, yet they still aren’t successful. From throwing ping-pong balls to colored substances, they have tried it all, yet the mystery stands unsolved.
