A large adult zebra mussel was found this week on a piece of in-water equipment at 6701 Minnewashta Parkway Drew Dickhart, Carver County’s Aquatic Invasive Species manager, was here on Friday to check the site and the mussel. Drew confirmed it is a large adult. Zebra Mussel monitoring sites were checked nearby and around the lake and no other mussels have been found. The LMPA asks that all lakeshore residents check your boats, docks and lifts and report any findings to us at info@lakeminnewashta.org, even if you are not sure.
Drew said that he and the DNR will be diving the area in the very near future to check if they can find others.
