I heard back in the 1950s man-made islands in Lake Koshkonong were once proposed. Will islands ever become reality?
Once the water level issue is resolved, the RKLD will recruit the wetlands clubs and the Audubon society to lobby the DNR and the US Army Corp. of Engineers for approval of man-made, uninhabited, protected islands. These islands would protect migratory birds from predators and improve fish habitat. Islands would also serve to break wind fetch, reducing natural erosion of lake shorelines, not to mention the aesthetic beauty of isolated islands.
