Osakis Chamber of Commerce

Lake Osakis, the perfect place for your well deserved vacation. Rated in the top 10 fishing lakes in Minnesota, Lake Osakis is a great place to fish "The Opener". . . and all year round for walleye, bass, northern, crappie and sunfish. Fall fishing turns on in September along with our beautiful hardwood fall colors. Our twelve lodging facilities offer a wide variety of accommodations on the lake.

Visitors to Osakis will find many gift, antique and specialty shops as well as great restaurants, attractions and special events.  Also, enjoy the new Central Lakes Recreational Trail for hiking/biking/snowmboling. This 14' wide asphalt surface is 55 miles long from Osakis to Fergus Falls including the city of Alexandria.  It also connects to the Lake Wobegon Trail from Osakis to St. Joseph. The trail is scenic and nearly all of it is away from the roads, making for an enjoyable and quiet ride.  If you are a golfer, Osakis has a beautiful nine hole course and there are over fifteen great courses within 20 miles.

There is also a great abundance of wildlife on Lake Osakis. "A great day!" would sum up a visit to Lake Osakis to witness western grebes perform their spectacular courtship dance on the water. There are very few birding experiences that would outdo this sight and sound. Lake Osakis has one of the largest nesting populations of western grebes in Minnesota. But that is not all, the lake also has red-necked grebes, loons, seagulls, turns & a few bald eagles to top it off. Yes, Lake Osakis is one of Minnesota's great fishing and birding lakes.
