City of Ortonville

The city of Ortonville is the county seat and the largest community in Big Stone County.  Located on the shores of Big Stone Lake which is known for its great perch fishing (summer and winter!).  And, of course, the elusive great Walleye (many stories on this topic!) and other panfish.  LINK to Ortonville's Website

Award-winning health care (Ortonville Area Health Systems), great education (k-12 Ortonville School District #2903), beautiful 18-hole municipal golf course which you can see in the photo above with their senior housing complex, Fairway View Communities fun downtown shopping and so much more!

If you are looking for a particular business or category (housing, dining, etc.) make sure to check out 'Live/Visit... Find' tab at the top of our website.  Everything in Big Stone County has a free listing - so check it out!
