Lake Latoka Homes for Sale

Located in Douglas County, Minnesota, and situated a little west of Alexandria, Lake Latoka is 767 acres and has crystal clear, cool waters that lap its eight miles of shoreline. It’s home to a large number of fish including Bluntnose Minnow, Carp, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Black Crappie, only to name a few. As for the Douglas County area and the city of Alexandria, they both have a history dating back to 1858 when the first settlers arrived to the area. Back then, the area was nothing but untamed wilderness and inhabited by around 13 different Native American tribes, a few of which included the Cheyenne, Dakota, Sioux, and Chippewa. Before the establishment of Douglas County, settlers experienced conflicts with the Sioux and thus were forced to leave the area for a short while. In 1868, the Sioux signed the Treaty of Fort Laramie, ending what was called “Red Cloud's War.” Concerning Alexandria, it had always been designed as a tourist destination, with the first log cabin and hotel built in 1858 next to the beaches of Lake Agnes. 

One of the things that attract potential home buyers to the Lake Latoka area is how peaceful and quiet it is.
