Kandiyohi County
Kandiyohi County joins an urban lakefront in Willmar to Green Lake and Spicer, the rolling glacial country around New London, and broad prairie water farther south. Foot Lake puts trails and public green space beside the county seat; Lake Andrew anchors Sibley State Park; and Big Kandiyohi Lake opens onto a lower, wind-shaped horizon.
Barrierefreie Orientierung

Willmar and Foot Lake form the central urban anchor. Spicer and Green Lake lie northeast; New London, Lake Andrew and Sibley State Park continue north. Big Kandiyohi Lake and its county parks lie south of Willmar, while the Glacial Lakes State Trail links Willmar and New London.
- Center: begin in Willmar for Foot Lake, Robbins Island and city services.
- Northeast: connect Spicer and Green Lake with New London and Sibley State Park.
- South: use county information for Big Kandiyohi Lake’s east and west shore parks.
