Would like to see this part cleaned up. In the past there was much speculation on where the water goes, but I think now it's pretty well understood that it soon joins back to main body of the river. Scott Carpenter 02:43, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Presently the article doesn't mention explicitly Grand Portage State Park or Superior National Forest. It appears to me that the State Park is contained with Grand Portage State Park which is itself part of Superior National Forest. I am not confident of the relationship between Grand Portage State Park and Superior National Forest however. If somebody knows what the deal is, it'd be worthwhile to have a sentence in the lead paragraph to the affect of, "Magney State Park is contained within _________".

I admit what little I know of kettles stems from reading Wikipedia articles, but I think there's something wrong with the description of Devil's Kettle as a glacial pothole. In the article, "glacial pothole" is piped to Giants kettle, and from the photo and that article, that's what I think this is. However, the Giants kettle article doesn't say that "glacial pothole" is another term for this geologic feature. Indeed, glacial pothole actually redirects to Kettle (landform), which seems to be a different animal altogether. Since I don't see anything in Giants kettle that implies anything glacial, I've replaced all references to "glacial pothole" in this article with "giants kettle" or "pothole" (depending on what sounds better). -- Floquensock ( talk) 16:38, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Is it me, or would it be very simple to just drop a simple GPS transmitter down the hole, and seeing where it pops up again? The signal could fade out when it's under the rocks, but if it resurfaces, it can be tracked back to the hole. Has this ever been tried? If it has, what were the results, and if it hasn't, why not?

This citation (number 16): Friedrichs, Joe (2017-12-17). "DNR does not complete dye-trace study at Devil's Kettle". WTIP. Retrieved 2018-05-07. has a link that does not work correctly. I don't know how to label it as a dead link, or even whether that is what I should do. Arctic Gazelle ( talk) 01:41, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
Done Looks like that site had changed there urls, but it's fixed now
