A little more dry with less snow coverage ending March 2020. A relatively great last couple weeks to really look at the ground forms without snow cover or any vegetation growth. The Trimble building really pushed it to the maximum edge, much like the Trimble residence in Wakanda Shores did (and got a DNR citation for it) to maximize the nearness to the shore. Of course, this slope was in that shape decades back and it does bring it back out from the vegetation that had grown up on it in the preceeding 50 years, it really stands out here where we can see the new rip-rap in preparation for the lake level raises.
That's pretty cool.
But what is the that maximum slope angle that will last long term? The rumor was there was a lot of debris used for fill, such as old cars at in this area.
Main street was pushed out over it a couple times and led to an expensive reconstruction. For a wider street which further distances downtown away from the lake through the barrier of the speeding automobiles on the river of cars.

The concept of the lake trail or path that would extend from LaPointe park, or the old city pumphouse location, and wrap all the way to Point Comfort will likely not get around this section without considerable expense now. The best feature would be a wharf or pier out in the water but the sheer expense for the benefit of the public is very unlikely.
With a large section of the old trail system from a hundred or so years ago reworked in some fashion, there are really only slivers of anything before 1957 that might still be worn into the hillside for that real authentic connection to that particular past.
And even that "rustic" past, when it was current, was actually built with a "rustic" style at the time they were new in many cases.
Like most springs into summer, below the water is very clear at Wolske Bay. Above, Wilson Creek has more current this time of year that has a more clouded silted stream.
This dock configuration is nice, but it would be nice to see more improvements for shore fishing on the outer bay, or lake side, of the Wolske Bay park.
