Lake Alice, a 26-acre lake in Minnesota, has drained significantly due to a malfunctioning control valve. Initially opened to manage high water levels, the valve remained stuck, leading to the lake drying up within days. The area is now left with a stream and dead fish scattered across the exposed lake bed. Locals have attempted to save remaining fish by transferring them to the nearby St. Croix River. The lake, popular for swimming and fishing, may remain low for several weeks due to maintenance issues.
