Henderson Lake - Lake Assessment Program



Minor watershed number(s):   25001

The project area is the Henderson Lake lakeshed of minor watershed 25001 located within the Hawk Creek-Yellow Medicine River Major Watershed.

The Henderson Lake project was completed through the MPCA - Lake Assessment Program (LAP) in 1996. 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.
