Hey Mike it's amazing what a little critter like a beaver can create! I have been out to Webster and I like the area.. I installed and wired the street lights on main street about 1-2 yrs ago.. I drove by that lake and always got a laugh out of the name and researched what it meant..What I found was it was named by indians and it meant "you fish on your side and I'll fish on my side and nobody fishes in the middle" lol.. Too funny!

It was named by the Nipmucs (who spoke the Algonquian language) but more likely means "Fishing Place at the Boundaries -- Neutral Meeting Grounds". The name has been lengthened by the man a couple times... check out Wikipedia for better detail, there is too much to put here!

Preventative measure taken this morning to ward off Beaver attacks! Hopefully itll keep em away until I get the four wheeler up here to move it. I inspected the downed trees and, unfortunately, it look like 95% are Poplar.

Beaver do not hibernate but stay close to their lodge to conserve energy once snow and ice set in. Your prolly safe unless we have a warm spell and the ice melts off the creek or pond. Either way it's prolly a good move tarping it as it will start the drying process . I'm sure they know what your up to as they can smell fresh cut asspin a long way off. It's their favorite wood.
