NOTICE OF MINK LAKE AND SOMERS LAKE OPEN WATER

The aeration systems on Mink Lake (86-0229) and Somers Lake (86-0230) located in Corinna Township, Wright County MN near the town of Maple Lake will create open water in several places. Fisherman, skiers, hikers and others are warned to stay clear of the marked areas! Weather conditions may cause the areas of thin ice and open water to fluctuate greatly. Vehicles including snowmobiles and ATVS should stay off the lake entirely when aeration is operational. The aerators, which may be in operation throughout the remainder of the winter,  are designed to prevent fish kills.

EXTREME CAUTION should be used while using these lakes for the remained of the winter. A warning sign with “Notice the Aeration is in operation” will be posted at the Public Access and Thin ice signs will mark the areas where the aerators will create open water.
