Barges with barge spuds, as seen on the lake, may have fours spuds, one in each corner of the barge, and are usually 20' long tree trunks with the end sharpened to a point using a chainsaw.
Using either the barge's excavator or crane, the pointy tree trunk, aka the spud, gets banged into the lake bottom to hold the barge in one place for doing construction close to the shore line.
