Ever since my uncle said he would help pay and let me do stuff to the lake my mind has been going crazy, I have caught the itch.
One thing I have been thinking about is a small shallow water estuary of sorts. Sometime since we've had the lake there was a beaver that mad his home in it, the beaver is long gone but his footprint is still here. He dug out a part of our bank I would guess 20 or 30 ft long and about 5 ft wide, well since he's been gone the plants have been running wild and it's probably the thickest shore weeds we have around the whole lake. Now what if I used my uncles mini excavator to dig out a little? I would like to see two small pools 1-2 feet deep with space for the weeds to grow, throw in a couple rocks (would river rocks be good? I have a pile on the property I could use) I have drawn a sketch to kind of show what I mean.
The light green is where I would dig into the bank, the brown is where the shallows would extend before the slope to the deep. I would also like to add maybe a small brush pile on the slope.
