The Temperance River flows 39 miles between its source, Brule Lake within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and its mouth where it drains into Lake Superior along its north shore just south of Tofte within Temperance River State Park. The Temperance River was named Kawimbash by the Ojibwa, meaning "deep hollow river". The Ojibwe Indians, along with the French controlled the North Shore area until 1763.
