The Minnesota County That Has More Lakes Than Any County In America
We all know that Minnesota is the Land of 10,000 Lakes. It’s our natural wonder claim to fame, one of our state nicknames, and is even on our license plate. There are only four counties in the entire state that don’t have any manmade lakes. Each offers something special, but today we are going to focus on their polar opposite. Minnesota’s Otter Tail County has more lakes than not only any other county in Minnesota, but also any other county in the entire United States.
Despite far northern Minnesota being thought of as Lake Country, Otter Tail County is located in west central Minnesota.
