| Title | DNR Hydrography - Muskie Lakes | |||
| Abstract | This layer shows Minnesota's muskie lakes. Criteria for identification includes lakes having an active muskie management plan, lake plan, muskie long-range plan, and/or where muskie is cited as a primary or secondary species.
Muskie lakes are classified as Native, Introduced, and Introduced-Hybrid waters on this layer. Note that muskie rivers (e.g., Mississippi, Big Fork, Little Fork, St. Croix, Kettle, Snake, Prairie, Rainy - International Falls to Baudette) are not included in this layer. | |||
| Purpose | To support planning, fisheries management, research and other resource-related activities with impact on muskie lakes. Also supports recreational identification of these resources. | |||
