Find Your Path.

Where the water slows down and the days stretch a little longer.
Where quiet trails, open skies, and the river have a way of clearing your head.
Where nature isn’t something you visit, it’s something you live in.

Pelican Rapids is shaped by its surroundings. Lakes, prairie, and space to breathe.

If you’ve been looking for a place that feels a little more grounded, a little more open, you might just find it here.

Find Your Path.

It might look like a walk along the river after work.
A familiar face across the street.
A place where people show up, pitch in, and care.

In Pelican Rapids, it’s not just about where you’re going. It’s about who you’re walking with.

This is a small town with a lot of life in it. A community that’s growing, welcoming, and full of people building something meaningful together.

Come see what your path could look like here.

Pelican Rapids Week 21: Say goodbye to the signal on Highway 59!

Week 21 progress

Crews are getting ready to switch traffic over on Highway 59. With the east side now paved, crews will get started on the west side of the road. When this switch occurs, we'll say "goodbye!" to the automated signal and traffic will travel head-to-head through this section.

In addition, on the north end, they're finishing up culvert replacements on County Road 9, and will focus on getting the road realignment completed.

Reminder: you can not access County Road 9 directly from Highway 59. The entrance to/from County Road 9 is closed to all traffic while the realignment work is underway. Drivers should use the detour on Highway 34 to enter from the north, or find an alternate route to and from County Road 9. Business access is maintained for the businesses near/at the intersection, but no thru-traffic is permitted. You will be turned around.

On Highway 108 east in Stages 4A-C, final paving is underway! They plan to finish the last lift (layer) of pavement by Friday, and early next week, striping crews will be on-site for final striping. Once that is done, Highway 108 east will officially reopen to all traffic.

On Highway 108 west, in Stages 3A-B, the intersection of 3rd Street NW remains closed as crews replace the underground utilities through the intersection. Use a planned alternate route planned, or take the thru-traffic/truck routes out of town. Crews are expecting to reopen 3rd Street NW by Saturday. The intersection will remain gravel when it reopens. Please drive with caution.

In addition, concrete crews continue their work on Highway 108 west, pouring curb, gutter and sidewalks.
