Join the Scott SWCD and the Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District for an introductory workshop on restoring eroding shorelines and beautifying the area between your yard and the lake
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is scheduled to complete improvements at the Sand Point Public Water Access this summer, which will force its closure until the fall.
Join the Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District for Watershed Week, July 7-13.
The Sand Point Beach Park Pond Improvements Project improves the efficiency of stormwater treatment before it enters Prior Lake. The project includes three components: Maintenance & Expansion of the Two Existing Ponds, Iron-Enhanced Sand Filter, and Prairie Restoration.
The shoreline area at Watzl’s beach was previously dominated by invasive plants and erosion was occurring at the shoreline. As such, the site was in desperate need of restoration.
The project will filter out sediments and nutrients from the stormwater that runs off properties and streets in the Indian Ridge Park neighborhood before it reaches Lower Prior Lake.
The Fish Point Park Retrofit project includes three elements: retrofitting an existing ditch section with in-line iron-sand filters, expanding storage capacity and creating wetland upstream of the ditch, and installing a new predictive control structure in the existing berm.

Normal wear and tear on the outlet structure resulted in cracking to the structure and diminishing efficiency. The outlet structure was replaced in 2010.
