The Devil's Kettle is a stunning geological phenomenon located in Judge C. R. Magney State Park in Minnesota, United States, near the North Shore of Lake Superior. As the Brule River flows through the park, it drops 800 feet in elevation, creating several waterfalls in the process. One of these falls is truly unique. About 1.5 miles (2.4 km) before the river flows into Lake Superior, it is split in two by a rock face. The eastern section drops 50 feet below and continues into Lake Superior.
The west side fell 10 feet into a huge pit - the Devil's Kettle - and disappeared. No one knows where the water went. It is believed that there must be an exit somewhere under Lake Superior, but it has never been located. For many years, researchers have dropped bright colors, ping-pong balls and other objects into the Devil's Kettle. So far, it has never been found.
One theory is that the river flows through an underground fault and emerges somewhere beneath Lake Superior. This is unlikely, because for this to happen, the fault would have to be oriented precisely toward the lake and be large enough to allow water to flow halfway down the river. Even if such a fault existed, it would likely have been blocked over the years as rocks, sand, logs, and other material fell into the kettle. Other than that, there is no evidence that such a fault exists in the area. Another theory is that millions of years ago, lava tubes formed when the rock first solidified. The problem with this theory is that the rock at Devil's Kettle Falls is rhyolite, and lava tubes never form rhyolite. Lava tubes are made of basalt flowing down the slope of the volcano, and the basalt layer closest to Devil's Kettle is located too far underground to be a factor in the mystery. The existence of a large underground tunnel has also been ruled out because the tunnel is made of limestone, and there is no limestone in the area.
