The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 awarded a $200,000 Cooperative Agreement to the County of Lake, acting through its Lake County Soil & Water Conservation District, under the National Fish Passage Program (CFDA 15.685). The project aims to restore full fish passage through the Lax Lake Road culvert on Lindstrom Creek, a high-quality cold water tributary to the Baptism River in Minnesota. This will benefit native brook trout populations that rely on the spawning, rearing, and refuge habitat in Lindstrom Creek. Key activities include culvert replacement, engineering, permitting, and monitoring to maximize the biological uplift potential of this critical aquatic habitat. The project period is from March 2024 to September 2026.
