Information on Twin Lake (May Township)

Ordinary High Water     849.5 

100-Yr. Flood Elev   855.6 (District, 10-day snowmelt) 

Twin Lake is a small high quality landlocked lake.  The lake was added to the District as part of the 2007 District enlargement that included the former Marine WMO and the Orphan Area in Northeastern Scandia.  Water quality monitoring efforts were started in 2008.  The goals established for this plan are based on the results of that one monitoring season and local knowledge of the lake’s pristine surroundings and high quality.  The lake receives discharge from Square Lake during periods of above normal precipitation.  The high quality of the discharge from Square Lake likely contributes to the high water quality found in Twin Lake.
