Fergus Falls Travel Guide

Fergus Falls is a community of 13,500 friendly people, many of whom are of Scandinavian descent. Glacial Lake Agassiz formed the rich farmland to the west of Fergus Falls and the fantastic lakes region to the east of our community.

The vast number of beautiful clean lakes and wooded areas near Fergus Falls is a major attraction for people interested in vacationing in the area. In fact, Otter Tail County has more than 1,100 lakes. This gives us the designation of being the number one county in North America for having the most lakes. In practical terms, it makes the whole area very attractive for those who like to canoe, boat, water-ski, fish, swim, sail or windsurf.
