Whitefish Chain, Crosslake

The Wharf

The Wharf has been an iconic symbol on the Whitefish Chain for 35 years. Come by boat, grab some food and a Bloody Mary, and watch the boat traffic through the Rush and Cross lake channel. Here, you can come as you are—boat clothes are welcome! There’s also 25 boat slips for easy docking.

Bar Harbor is known for their Classic Boat Show. Enthusiasts come to view the wooden boats docked at the Gull Lake Restaurant.

Zorbaz on Cross Lake

You can find this Minnesota chain restaurant on many hotspot lakes, and the Whitefish Chain is no exception. Specialty drinks, pizza (our favorite is the Zorbaz Club), and Mexican food in a fun atmosphere.

Moonlite Bay

Moonlite Bay has been a Crosslake icon since 1933. With 70 dock slips, there’s usually room for everyone who comes by boat. A new addition is the Pub 33 with flatbreads, salads, sliders, and more. There’s also a full dining menu in the main dining area. Moonlite Bay is the Crosslake entertainment headquarters with events and even music and dancing for those looking for late-night fun.

Manhattan’s Restaurant

Located on Trout Lake (part of the Whitefish Chain), Manhattan’s has been serving upscale food for 94 years. Brunch, lunch, afternoon bites, and an extensive dinner menu make Manhattan’s a delicious stop no matter the time of day.

Docks at the Crosslake Recreation Area

Recent dock upgrades and shore restoration at the Crosslake Recreation Area have made it easy for you to enjoy Crosslake dining. Crosslake is very walkable with wide sidewalks. Once you’ve docked at the recreation area, you can walk to Andy’s, Riverside, Town Square to Rafferty’s, or Lake Country Crafts and Cones.
