The Mississippi River in downtown St. Paul was measured as the fourth lowest reading on record after a wet spring that caused worries about flooding. Minnehaha Creek was dry enough to be a walkable rock bed in places.
The owner of a dock and lift business reported that many people have asked to have their lifts pulled out further and have docks extended. Some folks were already removing their boats from the water for the season where the water was shallow.
