Is it safe? Is it healthy? And, will it stay that way?

The quality of Hayden Lake’s water remains high through decades of the conscious efforts of citizens and government agencies. The Hayden Lake Watershed Improvement District (HLWID) tracks water quality through its lake monitoring programs and supports citizen science to extend their monitoring work.
