The project includes removing two impoundment structures between Pike Bay and Moss Lake to restore fish passage. The structure on the outlet of Moss Lake would be replaced with a larger diameter culvert to increase flow capacity.
Location
The project is located inside the Leech Lake Reservation, roughly 3.5 miles south of Cass Lake, MN.
