Traveling west, just 12 miles from Willmar on Highway 23, is the town of Raymond, population approximately 800. Raymond may appear to be a sleepy little village, but look deeper and you will find an active community where two of the county’s largest recreational businesses are located—Tensen Marine and Apol’s Harley Davidson.
