Who We Are

Minnehaha Creek Watershed District is a local unit of government responsible for managing and protecting the water resources in one of the largest and most heavily-used urban watersheds in Minnesota.

The watershed stretches 178-square miles from St. Bonifacius to south Minneapolis and includes Lake Minnetonka, the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes, Minnehaha Creek, and Minnehaha Falls. It includes eight major creeks, 129 lakes, and thousands of wetlands. Learn more about the watershed.

Tip: Before a snow storm, apply a liquid de-icer to prevent build up. This will make shoveling easier and decrease the need for salt. It's also a great winter exercise! (Learn more about this clean water tip).
