Things To Do

Lakeside Tavern

We highly recommend getting pizza and ask for a bottle of honey. Their crust is so chewy, the honey is an extra added touch!

Zorbaz on Pelican Lake

The vibe at Zorbaz is so cool and their food is great! We like getting either the colby clazzic or the bbq chicken pizza. Don’t forget to try the macho nachos or even the Lowden special (peanut butter, pepperoni and jalapenos)! Grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere!

Jimmy's Pizza

Jimmy’s Pizza is awesome (not to mention the workers and owners) There food is so tasty! I would highly recommend trying a calzone. You are allowed up to six ingredients with many to choose from or you can choose from one of our specialty pizzas. Another great option for pizza is either the super deluxe on alfredo sauce or canadian bacon and pickles on alfredo.

Whistle Stop

Whistle Stop is a must for breakfast! The number one thing you must try is the cajun skillet! Every time people ask what to get, we always say the cajun skillet.

Maplewood State Park

If you love to hike, Maplewood State Park is a wonderful place to go! The trails are pretty tough but the view at the end is all worth it!

Thunder Road

If you love to mini golf or love go carts, this is the place for you! Thunder Road is full of fun for all ages!

Long Bridge

Shooting Star Casino

If you want to press your luck, Shooting Star isn’t far away! Only 35 minutes north of Detroit Lakes on Hwy 59!

Cornfield Cafe

The Cornfield has amazing food! Stop in for breakfast and check out the store while you are there!

Pit 611 Sports Bar & Grill

Pit 611 is a great place to grab a burger and a beer! Not too far from the lakes, this place is a must to hit up. We highly recommend trying their wings or their pizza.

Tri Lakes Roadhouse Bar & Grille

The Roadhouse is another hotspot to hit up if you are looking for a tasty burger and a beer. Sam's favorite is the roadhouse burger and my favorite is the chicken strip melt.

Buffalo River State Park

Buffalo River is a great place to go and relax or to hike some trails. With it being right on the river, you can get some beautful views of the valley.
