The issue of Aquatic Invasive Species, or AIS, has developed into a serious problem in Minnesota over the past several years. The problem has spread from lake to lake and in rivers across the state, and now exists in several lakes in Itasca County and in the Mississippi. AIS can impact water quality, fishing, boating, and property values.
In Itasca County, the Soil and Water Conservation District manages AIS issues. The link below will take you to the SWCD website AIS page, which contains an up to date interactive map with locations and descriptions of all invasive species sites in Itasca County. Note: make sure you give the map time to fully load on your device.
