Restoration Of An Emmet County Lake Is Now Complete

November 03, 2025




(Wallingford)– Restoration of a lake in Emmet county is now complete.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says the project at West Swan Lake took several years to complete. It included a draw down of the lake, removal of rough fish including carp, revegetation, and restocking with yellow perch, northern pike, largemouth bass and bluegills.

A rock dam was also installed on the channel connecting East Slough to Ingham Lake.
