On the southeast side of Fergus Falls, in Adams Park, by Grotto Lake, stands one of the largest otters you'll ever see. It's a great photo op before or after you find this letterbox of the same name.
At the west end of the park, find a memorial structure honoring the old Madison School. Go to the backside of the monument, and stand under the "M" on the Madison stone. You will see a large pole and a small pole in the standard making an inverted V. Look through the top of the V down towards the lake, and place in the top of the V a twisted 3-sister tree (flowering beautifully in the Spring), and on a line behind it, jutting out over the lake, a large 2-sister tree. (If you're not tall enough to sight throught the V, find a bearing of about 104 degrees on your compass.) Walk down the hill to this large tree. On the left of it, find a stump, low to the ground. Hidden here amongst the bark and debris, is the Otter letterbox.
If you bring a set of washable markers, this hand-carved stamp will really come to life in your logbook. Please replace bark and debris, hiding the box carefully, and since this is a very busy park, please be discrete!
