Food Scene & Local Grocery
Several Nice Family owned and operated restaurants and bars are accessible by boat or car within a few minutes drive from your lodging homebase at Northern Lights Resort. The Northern Lights Trading post has snacks, ice cream treats and frozen pizza & oven and is steps from your deck.
Best Picnic Spots are by your private fire ring, lakeside on the grounds of Northern Lights Resort. A 5 minute drive to the Woodenfrog State forest campground for a lakeside bench or picnic table (park at the boat launch parking lot).
By Boat only, picnic at the funky cool National Park Ellsworth Rock Gardens (20 minute boat ride from Northern Lights Resort) or the Historic Kettle Falls Dam and restaurant about a 1.5 hour boat ride and a memory of a lifetime!
The Gateway General features fresh sub sandwiches, convenience mart groceries and ice cream smoothies and fancy coffee drinks. Best price on Adult beverages too and they've expanded their wine varietals selection!
Great "up north" ambiance and good food for any meal of the day at a good price! The dining room is separate from the bar, which has "Sports TV" and Pool table. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner through the summer months. Great Wild Rice dinner options in the evening. We love their smothered hash browns for a hearty breakfast. Pancakes are the best anywhere too. If you like a reuben, they do their own from scratch and rave reviews and you can't go wrong with a burger with your choice of a 1/3 or 1/2 pounder!! Chips are standard with the burgers and sandwiches. We recommend adding on "tater tots"! Tip: Call to confirm open hours during fall and winter months. Accessible by both car and boat (car recommended -- there is a very very steep hill to climb from the lake shore and not for the faint of heart).
