I live about 10 minutes away from gem lake.
that area is loaded with waterfowl. I had permission to hunt in there yrs ago before all the housing was built.
A lot of the geese that use the greenbelt in IF fly out to that area daily.
Used to be a nice population of pheasants and partridge in there as well.
My opinion as a local, is that Beck can have his little pond, there are tons and tons of better places to go around here, that place to me is kinda nasty, Gem lake isn't that great of a place, lots of annoying teens, drugs, people who don't give a crap and leave lots of garbage.
And the topper for the cake is that it is only a stone throw away from the sewer plant, when the wind blows the right way............yuck.
I think the guy is stupid for building there in the first place. he basically lives right next to the city sewer plant.
I think they still spread sludge on the field directly east of his property.
