DeLagoon Park is named for Lucy and Philip DeLagoon, who homesteaded the land in 1914. This large park offers camping, swimming and picnic facilities, and is connected to the city with bike routes that take you to Grotto Lake Park with the famous statue of Otto the Otter. Watch for the well-known statue of Big Ole the Viking at the north end of downtown Alexandria, near the Douglas County Historical Museum and the famous Kensington Runestone.

Central Lakes Trail The 55-mile-long Central Lakes Trail starts in Fergus Falls and travels southeast through the communities of Dalton, Ashby, Melby, Evansville, Brandon, Garfield, Alexandria, Nelson and Osakis. Just east of Osakis, it connects to the 49-mile-long, paved Lake Wobegon Trail.

Communities with rest stops and amenities are generally seven to ten miles apart. The Central Lakes Trail is open to non-motorized use and groomed for snowmobiling in the winter.
Along the Trail: The official Fergus Falls Trailhead is at DeLagoon Park, where you can find parking, bathroom, picnic and camping facilities about a mile south of the intersection of Minnesota Highway 210 and Pebble Lake Road.
DeLagoon Park is named for Lucy and Philip DeLagoon, who homesteaded the land in 1914. This large park offers camping, swimming and picnic facilities, and is connected to the city with bike routes that take you to Grotto Lake Park with the famous statue of Otto the Otter.
Watch for the well-known statue of Big Ole the Viking at the north end of downtown Alexandria, near the Douglas
