wild rice water
Be kind to wild rice while boating
Boaters and anglers may find themselves along the edges of wild rice beds in northern Minnesota lakes ? great hang-outs for fish and important brooding and feeding areas for ducks. Protect the rice and wildlife by avoiding these areas with motorized watercraft.
Wild rice is ecologically and culturally important in Minnesota and has been historically documented in 45 of Minnesota?s 87 counties and in all corners of the state. Wild rice grows in shallow to moderate water depths (1 to 3 feet) and is affected by water flow, turbidity, water quality and water level fluctuations.
