The Red Lake Watershed District is the regional governmental unit responsible for managing and protecting the water resources of the Red Lake River basin, a 5,990 square mile drainage area that includes all or part of 10 counties located in northwestern Minnesota. The District was established in 1970 under the Minnesota Watershed District Act, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 103D, which recognizes that hydrologic boundaries rarely match political boundaries.
The functions of the District include issuing drainage permits, building and maintaining water management structures, regulating stream flow, and monitoring water quality.
The District office is located at 1000 Pennington Avenue in Thief River Falls. The locations and major features of the structures the jurisdiction of the Red Lake Watershed District are detailed within this web site.
