This is a prime example of extreme bank erosion. This is photo of a farm on Mallets Bay Avenue. Farmers used to think it a good idea to remove all of the trees and shrubs from their to increase the hay yields. Absent the much needed root systems this farmers field is on its way to the bottom of the lake.








This is not the exact bank from my first post but this is very close to what it looked like prior to the restoration.











These banks are very sandy and so the phosphorus loading is minimal. But still the sand destroys much needed habitat for fish.

Notice large chunks of sod being deposited into the river.
