Fergus Falls in Otter Tail County, Minnesota — The American Midwest (Upper Plains)
The Fergus Falls River Walk
In recent years the river has re-emerged as an asset to the city of Fergus Falls. Modern power demands have outgrown the river's ability to supply the city with electricity but attention now has centered on its recreational potential. Though its use has changed, the river once again contributes to the quality of life in Fergus Falls.
