Tamarack Lake <br />Tamarack Lake is part of the Tamarack Nature Center. It is 86 acres and only 3 feet deep. As there is no boat access, <br />samples are taken from the observation dock on the southeast side of the lake. Tamarack Lake is considered a type 5 <br />wetland (water to 6' deep) under the US Fish & Wildlife Circular 39 classification system. The shallow, eutrophic <br />basin was part of a farm before it joined the Ramsey County open space system. Ramsey County restored a large <br />ditched wetland downstream of Tamarack and upstream of Fish Lake, as part of a wetland -banking project in 1997. <br />Tamarack will be studied this year for the development of a Sustainable Lake Water Plan. <br />
