The Brule River is a river in Cook County in northeast Minnesota (USA).

The Brule River has its origin in Vista Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness not far from the Canadian border. The river flows through the adjacent Horseshoe Lake to the north and leaves it in an easterly direction. He later turns south. It flows through Northern Light Lake and maintains its direction of flow to the south.

In Judge CR Magney State Park , the Brule River overcomes Devil's Kettle , an unusual waterfall that divides the Brule River and part of it disappears into the ground. The flow path of this water is not known.

Finally, the Brule River flows into Lake Superior 25 km northeast of Grand Marais . The Brule River has a length of 65 km.
