Welcome to Madsen’s Resort!
We’re proud to be a modern, family-oriented resort offering everyday people the opportunity to escape to paradise on Blanche Lake in Otter Tail County, Minnesota. Blanche Lake is a beautiful oval lake with 1,268 acres of crystal clear water and sand bottom. Well-stocked with a variety of fish – walleyes, northerns, crappies, bass and bluegills – it is a favorite for many fishermen. Blanche, half surrounded by Minnesota’s newest state park, Glendalough, is protected in a pristine setting for all to share.
With 15 comfortable housekeeping cabins situated on a beautiful relaxing setting that includes 10 acres of spacious, wooded grounds and nearly 400 feet of safe, sandy beach, our accommodations fill up quickly. Madsen’s Resort is the ideal place to partake in your favorite water sport, fish or relax with family and friends. With something for everyone, Madsen’s is the resort for you!
