Hardwood Creek Rehabilitation

The Watershed of Hardwood Creek

Hardwood Creek flows out of Rice Lake in Hugo, continues through the City of Forest Lake and outlets into Peltier Lake in the City of Lino Lakes. Sometimes referred to as Judicial Ditch 2 (JD-2), Hardwood Creek/JD-2 serves several important roles in the communities it is a part of. The creek provides agricultural drainage for the farms in the Hardwood Creek watershed, it is a major stormwater conveyance for these cities and it serves its historical purpose of providing habitat and open space. Hardwood Creek is also one of the main water sources for Peltier Lake and directly contributes to the lake's water quality.

Hardwood Creek at Harrow Avenue

For a number of years, Hardwood Creek has been asked to serve all of these needs and it has done so with mixed success. While all of these needs ultimately require the creek to move water downstream, they demand different rehabilitation considerations. This plan is a first-step toward managing the creek as a whole and improving Peltier Lake as well.
