Classifications
Looking for great information on lakeshore owners rights and
responsibilities or understanding water quality?
Click
here for the "Aitkin County Shoreland Steward"
Guide.
* The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has
classified all lakes in Aitkin County. You will need to know how
your lake is classified because lake setbacks are different for the
three different types of lakes.
| GD Lake (General Development ) |
These lakes are generally large, deep
lakes or lakes of varying sizes and depth with high levels and mixes of
existing development. |
| RD Lake (Recreational Development) |
These lakes are generally medium-sized
lakes of varying depths and shapes with a variety of landform, soil, and
groundwater situations on the lands around them. |
| NE Lake (Natural Environment) |
These lakes are generally small, often
shallow lakes with limited capacities for assimilating the impacts of development
and recreational use. |
*These lake definitions are from the Aitkin County Shoreland
Management Ordinance.
*If you do not see your lake on this list, please email us at
