Think of beavers that tunnel into the banks of ponds and lakes as supercharged muskrats. Their tunnels/dens are 3x as wide, and could be 4x as long as muskrat dens.

In muddy water, walking along crotch deep in chest waders, stepping into a beaver run could easily put the water over the top of the waders.

On shore, dropping a rear wheel of a tractor into a run could tip the tractor over into the water if it's on the downhill side.
