As a Blackhawk Island property owner who is an avid outdoorsman, what makes the most sense to me is for all of us (including DNR) to do what we can to restore the river and the lake to what it once was before humanity began to fill the channel and lake with runoff and pollutants. Instead of raising the summer level 7 inches, why don't we dredge the channel and lake 7 inches. The money is available, just look at the DNR budget and more importantly, what they are spending it on.
We in the lake district both thru our annual contributions plus thru our property taxes are already showing our support for making the river and lake something special for future generations. But, at the rate the river and lake are filling up with runoff, all that may be left for future generations is a mosqeto infested swamp with hundreds of half submerged, abandoned polluting structures generating zero tax dollars.
