These plants will slow erosion and the flow of phosphorous into the water, keeping the lake clear and relatively plant/algae free, especially milfoil. Second, wide gradual beaches attract waterfowl, and that is the LAST thing you want in your swim area.
I know all about waterfowl. I’m not talking about 50 or 100ft.

Beach right now is like 8ft and I’d like to remove one massive rock to make it like 12ft. It’s a lot of rocky shore. I’ve seen places legally do way more than I’m thinking.
