This otter sculpture, in the city of Ottertail, depicts the furbearing animal after which the city and county are named.

How Otter Tail County got its name Before there were roads in the wilderness area, the best method of transportation was by water. The early explorer would portage from Leaf Lake to Portage Lake to Donald Lake to Pelican Bay on Otter Tail Lake and be on his or her way through Canada to Hudson Bay. The first explorers through this area in about 1750 were a Frenchman and an Englishman. They met with a band of Indians on the shore of “Lac de la Queue de la Outer,” which translates roughly to the Lake of the Otter’s Tail. This is on record in the archives of Congress. Some believe the name derives from the sandbar shaped like an otter’s tail where the Otter Tail River enters Otter Tail Lake. Now, over two centuries later, the otter tail sandbar is still there.

Get to know... Otter Tail County Otter Tail County, located in western Minnesota, is home to more than 57,000 people. The county is so large, geographically, that it’s often informally split into two halves – West Otter Tail County and East Otter Tail County. The annual county fair, for example, is actually two fairs, with one fair in each half of the county. Similarly, though the county seat is in Fergus Falls, some government offices operate a second location in order to have a visible presence on both ends of the county. Otter Tail County is widely recognized for its robust industry and agriculture, but it’s perhaps best known for having more lakes than any other county in the United States, with 1,048. Numerous rivers, streams and other waterways also meander through the rolling countryside.

The area’s abundance of pristine waters has led dozens of resort owners to take root here, and those resorts regularly draw in thousands of anglers, boaters, families and other vacationers seeking a little adventure and relaxation. On just about any given weekend, and especially in the summers, the county’s calendar of events is jam-packed. Concerts, events and festivals provide entertainment for kids and adults alike, while the county’s museums, golf courses, parks and outdoor recreational opportunities offer an abundance of things to do. But more than anything else, what keeps travelers coming back to the area again and again is the neighborliness of the people here. Otter Tail County is well received as a laid-back, family-friendly tourist destination – a rural county that maintains a ‘smalltown’ feel, but where the hearts and hospitality couldn’t be bigger.
