DNR fish survey, 2025
Minnesota DNR Fisheries IBI program staff conducted an assessment of lakeshore habitat on North Twin Lake on August 20th, 2025, following the Score the Shore survey protocols. The assessment consisted of 30 survey sites evenly spaced 200 meters around the lake. Assessments were made in three habitat zones: Shoreline Zone (the shore-water interface to the top of the natural bank), Shoreland Zone (land-ward from shoreline to development structure or 100 feet), and Aquatic Zone (lake-ward 50 feet of shoreline). The average lakewide habitat score was 96.2 (+/- 1.3) out of 100 possible. A score of 96.2 indicates the lakewide shoreline condition is Excellent (92+). Approximately 23 percent of the sites were developed with a mean score of 88.6 (+/- 4.4) indicating shoreline habitat quality of developed sites is High (85-91.9), while undeveloped sites had a mean score of 98.6 (+/- 0.6) with Excellent (92+) habitat quality.
