Its a feeder ditch, actually about 1.5 miles with 1 mile being completely surronded...The big but about the whole place is that it needs to rain a lot in the spring for it to fill up good. in 2000, when we moved in there I saw a lot of carp down there, neeighbor told me they even came up a couple of drainage tiles and were in the fields for a few days. But last year we got no rain in the spring and areas that are usually 3-4 acres of water about 1-2 feet deep were dry.It's been wet so far but.... Otherwise I can walk the Hennepin canal sometime but that will be a lot leg work...

This year is looking like it will be good as the water is already in there pretty good, but a dry March and April will make the water go away in a hurry. I bowfished a long time ago, when I was a kid and it was fun, didn't have a lot of luck but it was fun...
