Resting on the state's largest natural body of water, the city of Devils Lake boasts of rich culture and colorful folklore and legends. Filled with museums, parks, historic sites and welcoming locals this city proves both a great place to vacation and a wonderful area to live.
History
This beautiful city derives it's name not from the Lake surrounding the area; both were named by Native Americans who called the area Miniwaukan. It was explorers who helped transform this name to its current with an incorrect translation. They thought the word meant "Bad Spirit," this spurned the many unique legends of drowned warriors and lake monsters. The name evolved into Devils Lake, which is the largest natural body of water in North Dakota.
