Battle Lake, MN
Battle Lake is a thriving community wrapped around the western edge of West Battle Lake in Central Minnesota’s “Lakes Country.” The City has a population of 857 but grows tremendously in the summer as snowbirds return and tourists come to this beautiful small town known to be a “foodie destination” with 12-plus eating establishments. You’ll also find several retail establishments, overnight lodging, service businesses, ice cream shops, coffee shops, a Civil War Museum, public art throughout the community, and much more to explore.
Battle Lake was platted in 1881, and named after a nearby lake which commemorates an 18th-century battle between the Ojibwe and Lakota Indians. It is located at the junction of Highway 210 and Highway 78 in beautiful Otter Tail County and just 20 miles north of Interstate 94. Throughout the year, along with the opportunity to visit our many restaurants and businesses, you’ll find art and craft festivals and events, an annual City celebration, turtle races, a farmers’ market, an ice fishing derby, the gathering of Pilots at the airport and so much more. Glendalough Bike Trail connects the City of Battle Lake to Glendalough State Park, providing a beautiful 12-mile loop through the community and the Park. Battle Lake has something to offer every age in every season.
