Becker County, Minnesota

Becker Location Map Minnesota

Becker County lies in the heart of Minnesota’s lakes country. It’s about 45 minutes east of Fargo-Moorhead, right in the western part of the state. Folks here are proud of their natural resources and work hard to preserve them.

Detroit Lakes is the county seat and is a hub for summer fun and winter sports. Locals love to fish, whether it’s through the ice or on open water. You’ll find over 400 lakes here. I dare you to count them.

The county’s history is deeply rooted in logging and agriculture. These days, tourism plays a big role too. Itasca State Park, home to the headwaters of the Mississippi River, sits partly within Becker County’s borders.
