Information on Highway 95 Ravine

Highway 95 Ravine receives discharge from Little Carnelian Lake via the District’s 30-inch pipe/outlet system constructed in 1984/1985. This pipe travels approximately three miles to the junction of Highway 95 and Arcola Trail where it outlets as a 54-inch diameter pipe into an old WPA (Work Program Administration) concrete channel. The WPA channel descends into the ravine, along with Highway 95, and outlets to the top of a 20-foot waterfall. From this waterfall, a natural stream channel flows for several hundred feet across floodplain and outlets to the St. Croix River.
