I talked with someone from the Watershed Board three years ago. They said that they have 5 lakes to manage with a limited budget. They said after paying for mowing that they had only a little money left to cover drainage problems. Like removing beaver dams from spillways and such. The first year I was here, they mowed the dam and emergency spillway. From the second year on I have done it because they only mow once a year.

I would like to drain the lake some day and make improvements. But being that all the spoils would have to go to the back side of the dam, it would be very expensive. Because anything removed below the waterline and placed above the waterline would decrease the flood water storage of the lake.
