Discover Lakeside Dining, Adventure, and Relaxation at Skyport Lodge and Raven Rock Grill
When you travel to Minnesota’s North Shore, the artsy harbor town of Grand Marais is often the main event. But just a few miles inland lies a hidden gem that locals and savvy travelers cherish: the adventure-filled, pine-lined shores of Devil Track Lake. Whether you are seeking a hearty meal after a long day of exploring, a sailing adventure on an inland lake, a unique wellness experience, or lively snowmobiling scene, Devil Track Lake area delivers. At the heart of it all is the beloved Raven Rock Grill.
A Table by the Water: Raven Rock Grill
Located inside the historic Skyport Lodge, Raven Rock Grill offers the quintessential Northwoods dining experience. It is the kind of place where you can trade stories about your fishing trip over a plate of perfectly prepared walleye or a juicy, handcrafted burger.
The dining room combines rustic charm with the feel of being in a beloved local bar where everybody knows your name… but the real star of the show is the lakeside patio. Grabbing a local craft beer or a signature cocktail and watching the sun dip below the horizon over the glassy waters of Devil Track Lake during the summer is an absolute must-do. The atmosphere is casual, welcoming, and captures the exact laid-back spirit of Cook County Minnesota.
Sisu & Löyly: The Ultimate Floating Sauna
If great food and spectacular views aren’t enough to help you unwind, Raven Rock Grill is also the home to an unforgettable summer wellness experience. Docked right at the lodge during the summer months is the Sisu + Löyly Floating Sauna.
The first of its kind, this floating sauna takes the traditional Scandinavian practice of heat therapy to a whole new level. You can sweat out your stress in the beautifully crafted cedar sauna, taking in panoramic lake views through the large window. Once you are properly heated, step right outside the door and take an exhilarating plunge straight into the refreshing waters of Devil Track Lake. It is the ultimate way to rejuvenate your body and mind before heading in to Raven Rock Grill for dinner.
