This project, funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law through the National Fish Passage Program, will reconfigure the area pictured by constructing a rock arch rapids outlet structure. These revisions will restore longitudinal connectivity from the Little Minnesota River and the Jorgenson River to Big Stone Lake.
