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.
In 2003, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) conducted an inventory of all county and judicial ditches within the watershed to inform the MCWD's models and its 2007 Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan.
