Murray County pairs prairie horizons with big-lake recreation and small-town ease, plus quick connections to regional hubs like Worthington and Marshall. Framed by Nobles County and Pipestone County, the county seat of Slayton anchors friendly communities such as Fulda, Currie, and Avoca, where local cafés, ball fields, and festivals keep calendars full.
Weekends often orbit the shoreline of Lake Shetek State Park, home to the region’s largest lake, sandy swimming areas, boat access, and a constellation of trails for hiking, skiing, and birding. History buffs and kids alike love stepping into the railroading era at Currie’s End-O-Line Railroad Park & Museum, where restored buildings and hands-on exhibits tell the story of the prairie line’s final stop. Cyclists and snowmobilers stretch their legs along the Casey Jones State Trail, linking towns, farms, and wetlands with miles of smooth riding.
Families cite strong local schools—Murray County Central in Slayton and Fulda Public Schools—for close-knit classrooms, wide-ranging extracurriculars, and community support. Everyday needs are covered by local clinics, libraries, and responsive county services, with resources and updates available through the Murray County website. Housing options span lakeside cabins, in-town ramblers, and acreages, giving first-time buyers and move-up shoppers plenty of choice.
