Thompson Lake Restoration

Page Content

Dakota County led a project to clean up Thompson Lake, so it will be a better place to fish and explore other recreational activities, like canoeing. 

The $2 million project was funded by the City of West St. Paul, the Lower Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization and Dakota County. The county put $1.3 million into removing contaminated sediments and investing in the lake’s future protection with a stormwater management project that will clean water before it enters the lake.

The project started in October 2018 and was completed​ in 2020.

For more information, see the Thompson Lake Restoration Story Map.
