Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: MN-HB-40
Station Name: Park Rapids 1.0 NNE
Report Date: 7/5/2026
Submitted: 7/05/2026 8:46 AM
Scale Bar: Moderately Dry
Description:
Into early July we have had a more normal rain pattern, but with patchy coverage from showers and storms. Despite this, lake levels have not come up and wetlands and small lakes and ponds are very low. Beavers are moving around into lakes looking for water. Shorebirds and waterfowl are competing for a shrinking habitat. Large farms are irrigating, others are doing ok. Shallow wells still marginal and water table is low.
