The watershed boundaries are located primarily in Golden Valley, but also extend to portions of St. Louis Park. Land use in the watershed is a mix of residential, commercial/industrial, and right-of-way. In 2004, the lake was designated as impaired by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for total phosphorus for aquatic recreation based upon its water quality history.
