@ Naturewoman – They are wonderful critters – it is located over in the Wolf Run area of the park! I guess I am lucky to see ponds all the time, maybe not lodges this large.
@ Didi – it takes them a while and lots of branches and mud to make it that high! It is amazing!
@ Mary – I normally see them smaller but this one has had a great deal of food to use to build it up! Glad you have had a chance to see them!
@ Robin – they do have a wonderful industry with everyone working together in making it larger!
@ Marty – now they trap them out, how wonderful he felt it was important to sell the land to the nature preserve! Sounds like a very good man! Thanks for such kind words!
@ Lynne – thanks for being so nice and always looking for way’s to give people a chance to see things they might not always get a chance to see. I didn’t post the picture but this pond also had a bank lodge (probably where their young live). They are just as interesting! Thanks!

There is an old beaver dam across Hasty Brook and an old lodge built along the bank. It doesn’t seem to have been in use for the last few years though. Thanks for the great info!

They flooded out an entire portion of a farmers corn field, but he was generous enough to sell it to the adjoining nature preserve instead of going and removing the beavers (which had been rarely if ever heard of in that area up to that point). It was a win-win for everyone.

These photos are a great look at the beaver habitat – and a good set of information to go with them. Thanks for sharing!

I had no idea how their dam-building and food storage system worked. I’ve always been impressed by their industriousness.

I’ve seen their work years back on a much, much smaller scale in Maryland. Thanks for those great photos!
