population of 1,610 residents located in both
Douglas County and
Todd County in west central Minnesota. Osakis is also
located on the south end of Lake Osakis, a 6,300-acre
fishing and recreation area with unique Indian history. Lake
Osakis is rated as one of the premier fishing lakes in the
state featuring walleye, northern, large and small mouth
bass, crappie, sunfish and even state record bullheads.
Lake Osakis is also an important destination for bird
watchers who want to see western and red-necked grebes, the
hard-to-find Clark's grebe, pelicans, black and Forster's
terns, Franklin's gulls and a variety of herons, egrets and
waterfowl.
Visitors and new residents to the area will find a variety
