About

The Hawk Creek Watershed drains approximately 623,105 acres (974 square miles) of land in Chippewa, Kandiyohi, and Renville Counties. It is comprised of a main tributary (Hawk Creek) and several other streams that flow directly into the Minnesota River.

Best Management Practices

Best Management Practices (BMPs) are used to protect and/or restore areas with water quality, erosion, and water quantity problems. Check out the BMPs page to see some of the latest projects we have worked on.
