Lake Hiawatha (at sunset on an autumn day) was recently recognized by City
Pages “Best of” as the best view.

Ironically, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) just released its ANNUAL
WATER QUALITY LAKE GRADES FOR CHAIN OF LAKES.

Lake Hiawatha received a D+. The D rating means: "These lakes have severe
algae problems. People are generally not interested in recreation on these
lakes."
The MCWD reminds people: “Your yard and home might be a bad influence on your
neighborhood lake. Keep your grades up, prevent wastes from entering the water
through the street storm drains. Storm drains are a direct, untreated route to
the nearest lake or stream.”
