MINNESOTA RIVER BASIN DATA CENTER


Pelican Lake - Lake Assessment Program (Grant County)



Minor watershed number(s):   23025, 23026

The project area was the Pelican Lake lakeshed which includes portions of minor watersheds 23025 and 23026. These minor watersheds area located within the Pomme de Terre River Major Watershed.

The Pelican Lake project was completed through the MPCA - Lake Assessment Program (LAP) in 1992. A LAP report includes general information about a lake's trophic status, factors (such as land cover/land use or point source pollution potential) affecting nutrient input to the lake, fisheries health, water quality, historical trend analysis, and watershed assessment modeling.
