Devils Lake Dredging Project - Nov. 19, 2025

Devils Lake Water Improvement District has submitted an application that involves activity in a wetland or waterway to the Department of State Lands. This project is to remove 2000 cubic yards of sand deposited from king tides at the SW end of Devils Lake (where the lake ends and D-River begins) to increase flow, help with area flooding, support migration of salmon, and make this area recreational again. Public comment is open until December 18, 2025. You can make a public comment to DSL here: Public Comment for Devils Lake Dredging Project.
