Beavers Cause Flood Risk at Clarksburg State Park
Clarksburg State Park officials plan deportation of beavers after they built a dam across the pond outlet for a second year. The rapid construction used rolling stones for a foundation and raised the water level about a foot. Homes along the Housatonic River north branch risk flooding if the dam fails, with officials calling the water pressure behind the structure tremendous. The beavers also felled 30 foot trees in the park. Last year park crews dismantled the dam three times before the animals responded.
