WHERE WE ARE

The Pelican Group of Lakes is located in Otter Tail County, approximately 13 miles south of Detroit Lakes, and encompasses four lakes: Pelican, Little Pelican, Bass, and Fish.

WHO WE ARE

We are a lake improvement district, which means we are a taxing entity through the county. PGOLID was formed to identify, quantify, study, and manage water resources as to preserve quality.
