| Garfield is in west
central Minnesota's Douglas County, an area rich in agriculture,
recreation and tourism, business and beauty. It is located six
miles west of Alexandria, a regional center for shopping and
business activity. Garfield is full of wonderful opportunities
and a great place to live, work, and play.
Garfield's estimated 2007 population is 304 and growing. The location provides people with the advantage of a great highway system, with Interstate 94 only four miles away. The transition of the Burlington Northern railway into an all-purpose recreation trail known as the Central Lakes Trail/Lake Wobegon Trail is also a terrific asset. The trail stretches from St. Joseph all the way to Fergus Falls. The City of Garfield constructed a trail shelter and parking area in 2004 to provide trail users with a place to rest. The city received local, county and state funding to make the trailhead project possible. The completion of the shelter and trail paving offers recreational enthusiasts some beautiful scenery and a way to get some great exercise. |

Central Lakes
Trail An amenity that was recently paved from Garfield to Osakis is the Central Lakes Trail, the old Burlington Northern rail bed converted to a year-round recreational trail. The trail runs from Fergus Falls to Osakis, where it connects with the Lake Wobegon Trail on the same rail bed that runs all the way to St. Cloud. This trail offers biking, hiking, and rollerblading in the summer and snowmobiling during the winter. |
