Fall 2014 Beaver Dams

On Sept. 17th, two beaver dams were found along the Platte River between Mud Bay and Mud Lake. The first dam was across the river where the pylons are located. The second dam was closer to the mouth of Mud Lake. Several volunteers from the ALPOA Board removed both of these dams and are now monitoring the river to ensure the beavers don’t make a second attempt. The picture shows the remainder of the first dam as you head into Mud Lake. We haven’t seen any angry beavers yet. So if you’re able to get out and enjoy any of these fall days, keep an eye out for beavers!
