Ice BoatsDepending on ice and snow conditions, you may see some of the ice boats zipping around the lake. Their high-speed and quick manueverability make them a site to behold.
*Please remember to mark any large fish holes that you cut in the ice to keep everyone safe. |

PartnershipsEvery season brings opportunities for Lake Riley neighbors to connect with each other. Many members are active with our Watershed District and the Southwest Metro Lakes Coalition. We have partnered with the University of Minnesota in their world-class carp study, and continue to work with them as they study the complicated balance between lake vegetation, aquatic life, and nutrients in the water.

Guidelines for Ice Safety.Watershed Awareness WorksheetThe Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District works to protect our lakes, streams, and wetlands. Watershed districts are unique to Minnesota. They are local government bodies, organized under the state Board of Water and Soil Resources. Their boundaries can cross multiple cities and counties. Why? Because they are based around a watershed, all the land that drains to a particular water body. We invite you to learn about the district, and how you can help to preserve clean water in our community. Learn More
