North Twin Lake is a shallow, well-developed lake with above average water quality for a shallow lake.  In-lake phosphorus concentrations are significantly better than the MPCA shallow lake standard of (60mg/L), and the lake is identified as mesotrophic in 2008.  North Twin along with South Twin, Silver, Carol, and Loon lakes form the headwaters of the Silver Creek Flowage and a part of the Silver Creek Protective Corridor.  Lake levels are controlled by an old beaver dam and a downstream field road culvert on the private property at the north end of the lake.  In the past the District has participated with the landowner in the maintenance of the culvert and outlet channel.
