| The City of Barrett lies along
the Pomme De Terre river which flows through beautiful Barrett
Lake and is located in Grant County in west central Minnesota.
Barrett is famous for its community atmosphere. It has a variety
of recreational areas, vibrant organizations, and dedicated
businesses which make Barrett what it is: The little town with
big dreams!
One of our great recreational areas is Barrett Lake. Barrett Lake features two public accesses, a public beach, a fishing pier, and the Barrett Lake Resort & Campground. A new bridge and dam were recently installed with a fish ladder leading to the lake. Barrett Lake has excellent fishing year around and the recreational possibilities on Barrett Lake are endless. Barrett is famous for its historic buildings. Have an event you want held at a one of a kind location? Why not try the Historic Barrett Lakeside Pavilion. The community of Barrett has been working hard to restore and renovate this treasure. The Lakeside Pavilion is owned by the City of Barrett and is available for rent. Or maybe you just want some entertainment. Pay a visit to the Historic Roosevelt Hall, home of Prairie Wind Players, who offer a full season of plays, concerts, including dinner theaters.
