In Fall 2012, the Wonder Lake Master Property Owners Association (MPOA) completed an important element of our overall lake restoration project. This work included the placement of supplemental limestone rip-rap on the upstream face of the Wonder Lake dam embankment, and the installation of rip-rap “collars” around three island areas in the southeast quadrant of the lake.
