I have a wet area in a path near the river at the my farm. When it is really dry one can get a tractor across it. Not dry enough yesterday and got stuck. After cutting a tree to give more room I was able to get out after about 30 minutes. Ruts 16 inches deep and the mud is a black goo. I will take the backhoe down there today and try to cut a relief out. It is a low spot of 15x15 and the water gets trapped there. Culvert would do no good I think. When the river floods there it would trap all kinds of wood and debris.
Just thinking about sinking a bunch of old concrete blocks in the area to held firm it up some. If it doesn't work no harm, I may never be able to use the path again anyways as there are so many fallen ash trees the path is now about useless.
The path actually was a township road until about 1930 when it was abandoned because it flooded so often and maintenance was difficult. Any thoughts about the blocks?
