Pelican Rapids Community

Located in western Otter Tail County, Pelican Rapids is home to Maplewood State Park, over a thousand lakes, unique shops, agriculture, and beautiful countryside. More than 2,500 residents call Pelican Rapids home and help create a community that supports each other.

Individuals and families can enjoy outdoor recreation biking on the Heart of the Lakes Trail, visiting Maplewood State Park and delighting in the new outdoor swimming pool with a water slide, splash pad, gazebo, and bathhouse (scheduled to be completed late summer 2024).

Major employers include Lake Region Electric Cooperative, Pelican Rapids Public Schools and West Central Turkeys LLC.
