Help Us Preserve the Health of Mille Lacs Lake and its Neighboring Waters

MILLE LACS LAKE in east central Minnesota is a crown jewel among Minnesota’s lakes. Long recognized as one of the premier walleye-producing lakes in the world, it provides many additional recreational opportunities. Although Mille Lacs enjoys relatively good water quality, the lake is vulnerable. Fertilization of the lake from natural causes and ones related to development of the shoreline and watershed is a concern, and aquatic invasive species create new threats to the lake’s waters.
