There are 3 other ponds within 1000 ft of mine, all having muskrat issues at one time or another.
Are you friends with those 3 other pond owners? Litters of muskrats at any one of the four ponds will eventually send breeding pairs to all of the other ponds!
I don't know what type of collective action you might be able to arrange, but you are going to have an ongoing muskrat battle for years unless you can extirpate them from your attractive habitat of four adjacent ponds.
