lake and fish habitat
The small lake at the park was drained in early 2009 to allow for the removal of the silt that had accumulated in the pond over the years. The lake was also deepened so that it can be used as a stormwater detention basin for the Community Center. The work in the lake also provided better fish habitat.
On the right side of the adjacent photo, the feature that looks like a dam made of large rock is a forebay. It will keep silt from moving into the larger portion of the lake. This will prevent the silt from re-filling the main part of the lake over the next several decades.
Cement pipe has been placed in several locations on the bottom of the small lake to promote fish habitat. In the photo, it looks like large rocks in the water beyond the forebay. It will provide a new home for the fish.
