Fergus Falls offers ample outdoor recreation
Fergus Falls is a small, western Minnesota city surrounded by natural beauty with a host of recreational activities: boating and fishing on more than a dozen lakes, mountain biking through various parks, and sporting opportunities at ice rinks, sports facilities and Pebble Lake Golf Course. The area isn't entirely rural, however, as the city's downtown provides its 14,000 residents with a concentration of local businesses, shopping and dining options to choose from, contrasting the larger metropolitan area of Fargo, North Dakota, located 59 miles to the northwest. “It’s a good blend of being a small town without being too small,” Realtor Sarah House with Century 21 Atwood says.
Fergus Falls was founded in 1872.
Pebble Lake Golf Course is an 18-hole Championship course that is open to the public in Fergus Falls.
