Rush Lake and Otter Tail County

Rush Lake is associated with Otter Tail County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Otter Tail County

Rush Lake by land and water

The Census records 8.06 square miles of water within Rush Lake, or 23.2% of its total area. It is 11.8 percentage points higher than the 11.4% recorded for Otter Tail County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Rush Lake township has 27.1 times the land area of nearby Richville city (0.99 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Rush Lake
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Rush Lake?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Otter Tail County. Rush Lake’s 26.7 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Rush Lake property in Alexandria Moraines and Detroit Lakes Outwash Plain?+

No. Alexandria Moraines and Detroit Lakes Outwash Plain is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Rush Lake boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Richville as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 1.7 miles west of Rush Lake’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Rush Lake?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
