About Grey Eagle

Grey Eagle is a tiny, quiet community nestled along the northwestern shore of Trace Lake in central Minnesota's Todd County. Home to around 300 people, it offers a relaxed, close-knit pace where neighbors naturally know one another. Local lore traces the distinctive name back to an early settler who shot a massive eagle in the nearby woods, and the town officially took root in the 1880s as a modest hub for area farm families.

Grey Eagle Village Hall SW

Getting around is straightforward thanks to State Highways 28 and 287, which intersect right in town and connect residents to larger regional centers. Trace Lake sits right off the main road, and popular fishing and boating spots like Big Birch Lake are only minutes away. Between its historic stone city hall, simple street grid, and easy access to the water, Grey Eagle delivers an unhurried, authentic slice of Minnesota lake country.
