Looking for a beaver lodge 🦫

We’ve seen a beaver swimming from one end of the lake to the other, most evenings at our rented cottage. Today we paddled out to investigate.

Kayaking on the lake

We found three separate lodges, though I could only really get a good picture of one.

A beaver lodge is surrounded by tall grasses and lily pads under a cloudy sky.

As well as a dam that was blocking a culvert at the end of the lake.

A culvert pipe is nestled in a woodland area, surrounded by trees, branches, and vegetation, with water flowing into it. A single purple flower with multiple small blooms is captured in a natural outdoor setting with greenery and trees in the background. A white water lily with a yellow center is floating on water surrounded by large green lily pads. A person wearing a life jacket is sitting in a canoe surrounded by lily pads on a sunny day.
