Turtle Lake is home to approximately 1,150 Village residents. The Village resides in both Barron and Polk Counties; however, most of the Village lies in Barron County. Many rural residents, extending 5 miles outside of the Village, have Turtle Lake as their mailing address and are part of the Turtle Lake school district despite living in one of the adjacent towns (Turtle Lake, Beaver, or Almena).
