About Otter Tail Lake

Otter Tail Lake is Minnesota’s largest lake by shoreline — over 50 miles of waterfront surrounding 13,725 acres of water. It’s a premier fishing lake and one of the most diverse lake markets in the state, with properties ranging from starter cabins to estates.

The lake’s size means a wide variety of waterfront types: sandy beaches on the south shore, deeper water with rocky points on the north, and protected bays throughout. Nearby towns — Ottertail, Battle Lake, and Perham — offer year-round services including dining, healthcare, and shopping. The area has a strong vacation rental market for buyers interested in investment properties.
