McLeod County, Minnesota
McLeod County sits just an hour west of the Twin Cities. It’s located at the edge of where suburbia gives way to farm country. Hutchinson is the biggest town. It’s a place that takes its “Minnesota Nice” seriously.
The county has plenty of lakes that are perfect for fishing or just lounging on the beach. The Dakota Rail Trail cuts through the farm field. But there’s a quirky side too.
McLeod County has a great mix of small-town charm and open farmland. It’s the kind of place where community matters and the outdoors are always calling.
