The old Danish Mill sets in the lush park square at the heart of Kenmare's downtown business district. The two-story tall windmill was built in 1902. Four large 18-foot vanes once captured the wind's power to grind wheat into flour for local farmers. To the immediate north of town is the Kenmare Country Club . It is a 9-hole grass green course with irrigated fairways and greens.
Golfers can enjoy a scenic overlook of the Des Lacs Lake and valley from most of the course.
This route has now achieved designation as a Scenic Backway . The twelve mile gravel road has nature trails for walking and wildlife observation. The refuge has become a very popular destination for bird watchers from around the world. Recreational facilities include the city's heated outdoor swimming pool, outdoor tennis and basketball courts, indoor gymnasiums, softball fields, children's play parks, and ice skating rink. Taskers Coulee is located two miles outside of town with modern bathrooms, sheltered picnic area and numerous private picnic spots secluded in the trees.
