The biggest difference, and of EXTREME importance if you're installing it yourself, is that the Americast tub weighs about 110 lbs. vs. 350 lbs. for cast iron! I recently installed an Americast tub & I think it's great.
Summary: This impressive and accessible waterfall on the U.S/Canada border is the highest waterfall in Minnesota. Definitely worth a visit. The High Falls of the Pigeon River, also known as Pigeon Falls, is on the Minnesota/Ontario border, right off of Hwy 61. The Falls can be reached from Grand Portage State Park or Pigeon River Provincial park. On the Minnesota side it is a short walk to the falls on a pathed trail.
