About Red Lake Falls

Red Lake Falls sits in northwest Minnesota right where the Clearwater and Red Lake rivers come together. As the seat of Red Lake County, it is a peaceful river town known across the region for summer tubing, kayaking, and quiet parks along the wooded bluffs. Highway 32 runs straight through the area, making it an easy drive to larger employers in Thief River Falls while keeping everyday life relaxed and manageable.

At the heart of the community is its historic 1911 courthouse, a stately landmark on the square that replaced the original building after a fierce county-seat rivalry in the early 1900s. Today, Red Lake Falls appeals to newcomers looking for affordable housing, safe neighborhoods, and outdoor recreation right out the back door. It is a welcoming, close-knit place where life moves at an easy pace and the river is always nearby.
