Welcome to the Comfort Lake - Forest Lake Watershed District
Follow the links to get detailed District information, and find out how you can help improve the quality
of our lakes and streams.
The Comfort Lake - Forest Lake Watershed District (CLFLWD) encompasses roughly 47 square miles in northern
Washington County and southern Chisago County, including the Cities of Chisago City, Forest Lake, Scandia, and Wyoming. The watershed outlets to the northwest to the Sunrise River, which flows northeast through
Chisago County before discharging to the St. Croix River.

The Mission of the District is to protect and conserve its water resources.

The CLFLWD is unique because the south portion of the watershed lies within Washington County and the
seven-county metropolitan area. The northern portion extends into Chisago County beyond the metropolitan area boundary and is the only
watershed district in the state which transects both metropolitan and outstate counties. Roughly 60 percent of the watershed lies
in Washington County and 40 percent lies in Chisago County.
The Mission of the District is to protect and conserve its water resources. The District will use sound scientific
water management approaches, technologies, and methods to develop a uniform, integrated approach to water management within a rapidly
changing and urbanizing area.
Unless otherwise notified, Regular Board meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of the Month at 6:30 p.m. in
the Council Chambers of the Forest Lake City Hall. In the event of a Holiday, meeting site conflict, or cancellation, meetings
will be rescheduled and posted here.
