Iowa DNR To Hold Informational Session On Management Plan For 12 Mile Lake In Emmet County

August 04, 2026




(Wallingford)– The Iowa DNR will hold an informational event later this month to talk about management plans for 12 Mile Lake in Emmet county. The August 26th open house will be held from 6:00 until 8:00 pm at the Wallingford Community Center.

The project is scheduled to start this fall with the installation of some infrastructure for a partial draw down of the lake to encourage the growth of emergent vegetation to improve water quality. Levels are expected to return to normal in the latter part of 2028.

DNR staff will be on hand to answer questions during the August 26th come-and-go event.
