This project will improve the ecological functions along a section of Upper Riley Creek and downstream Lake Susan by reducing stream bank erosion, reconnecting the creek to its floodplain, restoring habitat, and promoting diverse vegetation.
This project will stabilize 970 feet of Riley Creek within the Bearpath Golf and Country Club.
The District with the City of Eden Prairie and the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District are working together to stabilize and enhance the creek.
