About The Lakes
The Lakes is a quiet community gathered around Lake Shetek, the largest body of water in southwestern Minnesota, along with nearby Lake Sarah and Lake Maria. Life here is all about the outdoors, making it a popular spot for seasonal cabins, fishing, and relaxed lakefront living. Lake Shetek State Park hugs the southeast shoreline, giving residents quick access to wooded hiking trails, boat launches, and sandy swimming beaches. Tucked between the small towns of Currie and Garvin, it offers a peaceful rural retreat with plenty of open water.
