There's an island on the 3 acre pond. Accessed by bridge....I love fishing off of it, as the side that faces the dam provides easier access to deeper water for a shore angler.
Muskrats will make it their home however....but, I would rather trap them there, at a somewhat relaxed pace, rather than in a dead panic because they're tunneling into the dam. And it seems they would rather build dens on the island vs. the dam, so perhaps that's a benefit of sorts.
