From Fergus Falls to Perham, Battle Lake, Pelican Rapids, Ottertail and dozens of rural communities, transportation requires planning beyond the nearest rideshare pickup point.

Otter Tail County is one of Minnesota's best-known lake regions. Visitors arrive for fishing, family vacations, weddings, resort stays, reunions and business.
