Three Rivers To Install Aerators on Area Lakes

December 08, 2020

Three Rivers Park District will operate aeration systems in Lake Rebecca, Cleary Lake, Murphy Lake and Hyland Lake after December 7, 2020. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District will operate aeration systems in North Lundsten Lake, South Lundsten Lake and Mud Lake (adjacent to Carver Park Reserve) after December 7, 2020. Aeration will continue until ice off conditions in 2021.

Operation of the aeration systems may result in unsafe ice conditions on portions of the lakes for the duration of the winter. Anyone using the lakes should be aware of the danger of open water or thin ice. The aeration system is used to keep fish alive by assuring they receive sufficient oxygen.
