< Parks & Lakes | || | One of the hallmarks of the Minneapolis
Park System is its lakes, ponds, wetlands and creeks. From the
famous Lake Harriet to the little-known Black Ash Seep in
Minnehaha Park, our water resources are a precious resource. For
over 125 years the MPRB has maintained the area’s scenic and
recreational bodies of water, which has earned it the national
reputation for sound conservation and ecological practice that
leads the way to a healthy environment. The MPRB system includes
16 lakes, which are defined as water bodies whose maximum depth
at low water exceeds 6.6 feet (2m) depth and develops layers of
different temperature for at least part of the open-water
season. |Lake of the Isles The MPRB system contains many
wetlands, which are defined as a permanently saturated or
flooded basin shallower than 6.6 feet (2m) depth at low water
and that have historic or hydrologic significance to the MPRB.
