Eurasian watermilfoil is a
submersed invasive aquatic plant
that was inadvertently
introduced to Minnesota.
Milfoil was first discovered in
Lake Minnetonka during the fall
of 1987. Eurasian watermilfoil
can limit recreational
activities
on water bodies by forming mats
on the water surface, and alter
aquatic ecosystems by displacing
native plants. |

Milfoil is spread from
one body of water to
another primarily by the
introduction of plant
fragments. A milfoil
fragment only a few
inches long can form
roots and grow into a
new plant. The most
important action that
you can take to limit
the spread of milfoil is
to remove all vegetation
from your watercraft
before you move from one
body of water to
another. See
