The Nine Mile Creek Watershed District is a public entity that works to protect and restore the water and natural resources in the land area draining to Nine Mile Creek. We have state authority to protect and manage water resources in our district for everyone’s benefit. We serve the residents, property owners and visitors of the cities in our district: Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, Minnetonka, and Richfield. We accomplish these goals through five different program areas: Monitoring, Permits, Projects, Education, and Grants.
Nine Mile Creek Discovery Point is our headquarters and a unique educational facility, located in a donated house in Eden Prairie. Visitors learn best practices in water management and conservation in a natural setting. The 5.3 acre site connects to walking trails and a wetland.
