ABOUT PARKERS PRAIRIE Located in the southeastern corner of Ottertail County, and just north of the popular Alexandria lakes area, Parkers Prairie is a comforting blend of friendly people, hardworking businesses, and a simple quality of life hard to find anywhere else.

Parkers Prairie is a great place to raise your family, grow your business, and enjoy life. Come see what you've been missing.
