Hallock is a tiny, friendly northwest Minnesota town with wide skies, a strong small‑town vibe and easy access to hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and birding — a quiet but comfortable base for multi‑week stays about 20 miles from the Canadian border.
Within a one‑ to 1.5‑hour drive you can reach Thief River Falls (regional medical services, restaurants, events and a casino/waterpark) and Roseau (home of Polaris, museums, state parks), so weekends, supplies and short road trips are convenient even when you need a break from on‑site work.
