With a population of 1,773, Osakis is serenely seated on the southern shores of Lake Osakis – one of the state’s premier walleye fishing lakes. The sparkling waters of the 6,700-acre lake also offer the perfect setting for soaking in a relaxing summer afternoon, or taking a spin on your watercraft. For waterfowl hunters, public hunting areas are nearby. During the winter, the lake makes for great snowmobiling and ice fishing. Any time of year, be sure to check out the family resorts, campgrounds and motels inviting you to stay for your next vacation.

The Washington County Fair is this week, marking the first iteration of the event to happen in April after decades of having been run in the summer.
County officials moved the fair to its new spring timeslot earlier this year, citing community surveys that suggested residents felt the August heat was too much to take. The number one comment received was that residents were more likely to attend the fair, or more likely to experience greater enjoyment at the fair, if it was held during a cooler time period, Washington County Commissioner Victor Iverson said in a written release.
The new fair will look a lot like the old one, with things set to kick off with a parade on Tuesday and an opening celebration at Veterans Park in Washington City. Then the fair itself is scheduled for Wednesday through Saturday at the Washington County Legacy park in Hurricane, with the usual rides, games, live music and schedule of events.
