Welcome to the
City of Ottertail, Minnesota website!

Ottertail, a small city with 572 residents, offers friendly and affordable small town and country living in the beautiful lake country of Otter Tail County.  Only about 11/2 hours from Fargo, ND and 2 1/2  hours from the Twin Cities.  Ottertail can boast 5 lakes within our city:  Otter Tail Lake, the largest lake in Otter Tail County, Donalds Lake, Long Lake, Portage Lake and Buchanan Lake.

Ottertail offers municipal water, fire/rescue protection, lots of hometown pride and is a growing community with plenty of room to grow.  We offer ball parks, a dog park and Three Lakes Retreat Park, a summer recreation program and plenty of room for kids, young and old, as well as Fido, to run and play.

In 2012, Ottertail will complete a 1.8 mile walking and bike path that will take you from “old town” to “new town” on the highway right-of-way of 108 and 78 right past the Otter statue on the corner.

Ask any one of our residents, year-round and seasonal, it’s the people, the friendly faces and the feeling of community that beckons and keeps people returning year after year and those that live here wouldn’t live anywhere else.

It’s the pride that shows on the faces of this small community.  Plenty of  work goes into making sure that everyone enjoys their stay in Ottertail, from a radar run in January to a parade in December, turtle races and demo derbies, a tractor pull and steak fries…there is always something to do. 

With all we have going for us you’ll enjoy your stay and maybe call Ottertail your HOME!
