a lot of excavation complanies will dig it for you for the gravel/dirt... if you work it right, it doesn't necessarily need to cost a ton.

THe removal of the dirt would be a big part of it and Churchy is right. Some companies need dirt. You dont want standing water so it would be better if you have a creek flowing into it or some kind of oxygen in the lake. I think what would be expensive is importing any water.

pops has 25 acres, and yes i have a friend with a tractor business that is more than willing to dig me a big hole. he gets into sh*t like that. WATER=well. our land is on a big hill side, not like a mountain or anything, but most of the dirt wouldnt have to go any where. just push it to the slope side to make banks........ i would think. a guy a mile down the road dug out an old dried up pond/lake when he bought that land, which was thousands of acres, big money grip!!!! i was thinking of asking him if i could use it for skiing, but i watched the whole dig out proccess, and hedidnt go deep enough. to me it was a waste of good water, but oh well. he could probably give me a good estimate on cost per month for running a well. JUST A DREAM..........but maybe with friends and family, it could be my dream come true. Very Happy

key, if you build it you could make some money off it. like people have to pay to ride on it. like a camp thing, but just pay for butter...like a ramp fee, but more money...

hah yeah right Tyler~Moore, then he'd have to worry about liability and all that crap for when some idiot bottomed out his boat or hurt himself. If a lake is privately owned like that and you let strangers on it for a fee and something happens, thanks to the good ol' judicial system in the USofA you are the one who is liable.
