    Hiking

    A family of beavers has doubled the size of its habitat by raising the height of the man-made dam in the area of the overflow.
    The path between the lake and the sewage treatment plant is impassable due to the raised water level.
    There are numerous beavers who have felled trees on and in the lake.
    And beaver dams in the lake.
