East Side Lake is a Convert|40|acre|ha|2 man-made lake in Austin, Minnesota in western Mower CountyGR|6, which is in the southeast part of the state. It is one of two man-made lakes in Mower County (the other is Lake Louise), which is one of only four counties in Minnesota without a natural lake. The majority of the lake is only 5-6 feet deep.

Dobbins Creek

The lake's only tributary and only outflow is Dobbins Creek, which starts in Red Rock Township and flows through Nicolville. As reported in the Star Tribune [http://www.startribune.com/462/story/470972.html] , untreated sewage (including feces) from Nicolville is dumped into Dobbins Creek a mere three miles (5 km) upstream from East Side Lake. Fecal bacteria have been measured at up to 11 times the level allowed in surface water by state law.
