Sawmill Creek Dome

Minnesota > N Shore Rock > Lake County Rd 6 Area…

Description

A great anorthosite crag with several good climbs and the highest concentration of good bouldering in Minnesota! All climbs can be easily top roped and most are good leads...well worth the hike!

Getting There

Three miles south on the Superior Hiking Trail from the parking lot.

[Hide Comment] The approach is less than three miles. Didn’t map it but I’d guess like 1.5 miles. We turned at the picnic rock sign, there is a better trail before the sign but harder to notice on the way in. I would suggest just going to the bottom and then using the gully by birch flakes to access the top. Worth the hike! Jun 28, 2021
