About Williams

Tucked away in northern Minnesota's Lake of the Woods County, Williams is a quiet, close-knit town of around 160 residents. Located right along Highway 11, it serves as an easy gateway to the wooded trails, sandy shoreline, and year-round fishing at nearby Zippel Bay State Park. The community celebrates its railroad and logging roots every July during the annual Back Home Days festival. For newcomers looking for wide-open space and access to legendary lake country, Williams offers peaceful small-town living surrounded by the north woods.
