The Temperance River is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed May 7, 2012〕 river in northern Minnesota, the United States. It drains into Lake Superior along its north shore just south of Tofte. It flows out of Brule Lake in Cook County generally south towards its mouth within Temperance River State Park. Its name is supposedly a pun on its lack of a sand bar. ==Name== The Temperance River was named ''Kawimbash'' by the Ojibwa, meaning "deep hollow river".〔Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Temperance River State Park Map, 2009. () Retrieved July 20, 2010〕 While it retained this name in the earliest geological surveys, in 1864 Thomas Clark reported its present name, which he alleged arose as a pun from the fact that the river has no sand bar near its mouth. However, this is not the only river on Lake Superior to have this feature, which has cast some doubt on that story.〔Meyer, Roy W. ''Everyone's Country Estate: A History of Minnesota's State Parks,'' p. 140. Minnesota Historical Society Press, St. Paul, 1991.〕
