Limnology Office, Limnology Cottage, and Surf Shack
The Limnology building was originally the U.S. Fisheries Station before being closed on 1/1/1947. It was donated to the University in 1948 and served as a temporary housing unit for faculty members. On 11/28/1978 the building went on the National Register of Historic Places.
This is also the base for our surfing and Stand-Up Paddleboarding activities on Lake Superior. When Lake Superior warms up during the summer we have open hours at the Surf Shack when you can come and try Stand-Up Paddleboarding, kayaking and surf-skiing. The Surf Shack is located just behind the UMD Limnology Building on the corner of London Road and 60th Avenue East.
