The water flows to the North down to the marsh where ours is a feeder for the large marsh. Previous owner told us it used to be completely closed off but due to erosion and animals it seems to have opened up. I was going to discuss with them but wanted to know my options. That's also why we want something we can control so that it leaves it open to any sort use for the DNR. Part of our marsh is in the conservation but this portion is completely on our property and out of any easements.
