The problems came when the state took over the dams.

And speaking of erosion problems with the lake level. Think of how the native Americans fell when the settlers built the lakeport dam and raised the lake level up 5-7 ft. No more fishing weirs and Long Island was probably not an island.
I think the Indians must have lamented the loss of Witch Island!
