Stephens State Park Conditions

I would prefer to think of it as managing them. He can have a 8’ deep pond, just not a 12’ deep pond for example. Open to the general option of the board and or the powers that be.
For example the water levels not only effect the bridge but also encroaching the trail.

You can see the dark black was the high water mark, which negatively impacted the trail as well as the bridge crossing.

I'd still vote for coexistence with the beaver and move the bridge on top of the beaver dam. Then we can readjust the trail if it floods.

My vote is abandon that bridge, let beaver do what he is gonna do because you'll find your notches repaired daily because a beaver is never happy. Move the trail completely around the right side of the frog pond call it a day.

No one is trapping beaver because no ones buying beaver so beaver gonna continue in engineering and heavy construction.

Don’t worry, the beaver will be more determined than the human.
