Audio Guided Tour of Benton Lake in Cologne, Minnesota

The final stop of our tour is near the Southeastern edge of the lake, and focuses on the beautiful American White Waterlily.

Look around at Stop 7 to see some evidence of beavers in the area, and you may even see live mammals or birds such as wood ducks.

Stop 6 of the Benton Lake Audio Tour will guide us to the entrance to Meuwissen Lake, a smaller lake connected to Benton Lake. This creek is where many carp go each year to spawn.

Stop 5 of our tour is a great chance to see some animals on the dead trees around the lake. 

Lookout for Lookout Point! Stop 4 of the tour is a viewing area with some benches that sits above the water line and makes a great place to take in the great views of Benton Lake.

The Carp Fish Barrier is stop 3 of the tour; it was constructed to help mitigate the migration of Common Carp into Carver Creek.

Stop 2 of the tour discusses the fountain, and how it can help with aeration of the water for plants and animals living in the lake.

The Benton Lake Audio Tour begins at the Fishing Pier, where visitors can relax and catch some fish as well as launch their boats.
