Paradise is just a paddle away!
Kandiyohi County is home to 360+ lakes as well as the Middle Fork of the Crow River, a 40+ mile waterway that originates in Belgrade, north of Kandiyohi County. This river enters Kandiyohi County at Mud Lake. From there, works its way through Lake Monongalia, New London’s Mill Pond, Nest Lake, and eventually Green Lake before streaming into northern Meeker County, where it empties into the Crow River’s north fork.
There are nice paddling opportunities along the Middle Fork of the Crow River as well as on all of the area lakes in Kandiyohi County. Try one of these local favorites below during your next visit to the Willmar Lakes Area.
