Dower Lake Pier
About
Leave the chaos behind. Satisfy your craving for hometown goodness. Play outside, walk to dinner, and wonder at the stars above.
Conveniently located off Highway 10, between Little Falls and Wadena, Staples is a smart choice for a weekend getaway or a longer vacation. Close to larger lakes and cities, along with its own lengthy list of activities and outdoor resources, this small town is anything but sleepy.
Bike trails, river tubing, water sports, and lakeside camping ensure you get a healthy dose of fresh air. Relax with fine art and music performances in all seasons. Run off some energy, marvel at nature, and gather with family in one of Staples’ many parks and recreational facilities. Follow the Central MN Barn Quilt Trail that winds through town.
Staples is proud to be the home of the amateur baseball team, the Lumberbats; the Joel Goldstrand designed golf course, The Vintage; CLC's beautiful Living Legacy Gardens; and Minnesota's longest fishing pier located at Dower Lake Recreation Area.
