The watershed district encompasses three creeks: Riley, Purgatory, and Bluff creeks. As they wind their way toward the Minnesota River, these creeks pass through multiple wetlands and lakes. These waterbodies offer many opportunities to hike, boat, fish, watch wildlife, and more! This May, get out and explore some of our favorite spots in the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District with the Passport Adventure.
Don’t have a printer or unable to pick up a printed passport? No worries! The digital version of the passport is a fillable PDF form, or you can simply keep a list of the passport phrases to send us by email.
The first 30 people to complete their passport will receive a RPBCWD Prize Pack! Limit one prize pack per household.
