Vermillion-Big Sioux Area


Area Overview

The Vermillion-Big Sioux watershed area includes Lake Thompson (16,200 acres) Whitewood Lake (4,967 acres) and Lake Preston (5,222 acres), with a combined watershed of 263,044 acres.

Due primarily to agricultural activities, high levels of nutrients (particularly phosphates), siltation and excessive levels of algae impair all of the lakes.
