Grant County, Minnesota

Grant Location Map Minnesota

Grant County is situated in west-central Minnesota. Elbow Lake is the county seat, named after the lake it sits on. Fishing is big, naturally. The county is filled with lakes and ponds, leftovers from the last ice age.

Farming is the main gig for most folks. Corn, soybeans, and sugar beets are common crops. There’s a surprising amount of wildlife for farm country. Deer, pheasants, you name it.

Grant County is the kind of place where life moves at a slower, more relaxed pace. Whether you’re out fishing on the lake or just enjoying a quiet evening, it’s a great spot to unwind.
