Lake Design and Construction

Their are many considerations when building a lake. Overlooking any one of them can cause the lake of your dreams to become a nightmare, and an expensive one at that. Do you have the proper soil? Is the watershed adequate? Are wetlands affected? These are the kinds of questions that must first be answered to determine if a lake is feasible on the site you are considering. Once feasibility is determined, you need to decide what kind of lake you want. Do you want a ski lake? Do you want a trophy bass lake? Or maybe you prefer a trophy bluegill lake, or just a fun lake for kids to catch fish after fish. The answers to these questions have a tremendous impact on how your lake should be designed. Habitat for different species of fish should be figured in to your construction plan long before any dirt is moved. Most earth-moving contractors will build a levee to hold back water without considering much else. This will get you a pond, but fall far short of a honey hole. A pond is a dynamic world for the different fish species you will add later. It should be designed and built with this purpose in mind.
