City/town information

Less than 20 miles from Battle Lake is the town of Fergus Falls, home of Otto, the world's largest Otter. If you are looking for a bigger grocery store (I recommend Service Foods), more boutique shops ( The Bric, The Market, Victor Lundeen Company, Dandelion & Burdock are a few favorites) and restaurants (Viking Cafe - BEST BREAKFAST AROUND!) or you need to hit the Walmart, head to Fergus Falls.
