Maple Lake Homes for Sale

Maple Lake is situated at the southern edge of Douglas County and is home to Sunset Beach Resort and Maple Island Resort. The small town of Forada sits along its northeastern shores, with MN-29 running north and south along some of its western shoreline. Interstate 94 East and West are only 13 minutes away, while the city of Alexandria is only 15 minutes. As for the area surrounding Maple lake, its history dates back to the mid-19th century as European settlers began moving to the region. Nevertheless, in the 1860s, nearly all of the original settlers were forced to flee the area as the Dakota War of 1862 erupted. Over four years later, the Treaty of Laramie eased some of the tensions and development continued starting in the early 1870s. The cluster of lakes in and around Alexandria has always attracted tourism, even since before the turn of the century with the first log cabin and hotel being built by Alexander and William Kinkead in 1858 on the shores of Lake Agnes. In 1867, a pioneer and land developer by the name of William E. Hicks purchase the land which later became the town’s site and decided not to change its name in honor of the Alexander brothers.
