Lake management planning

No lakes scheduled for updates in 2025.

Comments from people interested in the health and quality of Minnesota’s fisheries are a critical part of the DNR’s fisheries lake management planning process. These plans establish fisheries management goals and objectives for each lake and guide the work fisheries biologists do each year.

Learn more about the process and lakes being evaluated during 2025 on our lake management planning page.
