I think an excavator is your only hope. A lot of places wont let you damn a
water source that passes through your property. Now had it started on your
property that would be another story. If the area isnt big you might throw a
"digging" party. 20 people with buckets going all day is a lot ot earth
moved.

I own a piece of property that has a large creek passing through it
and it currently has a shallow swimming spot by the shore. The creek
is to wide to dam it all the way accross and I am wondering what the
best way to deepen it might be. If at all possible I would like to
avoid heavy duty earth moving equipment like an exgavator, and find a
less invasive solution. Does anyone have suggestions or recomended
sources for more info. Thanks
