    Attach long cable to bog, anchor to lake bottom. It can then float around then as it pleases, but can only go as far as the cable will let it.

      @@pamukpicker a few of the trees. After all a few boats can push the whole thing on water, so a few trees can stop it moving

    We have similar floating islands here in Maine. Never had them block anything but why not try a few big anchors?

      Its a tourist attraction, if they were not moving it would be like any other island

    I like how the video says they tried to get it anchored in place but weren't allowed to, and half the comments are asking why they don't just anchor it, lol

    Why don't they put pilings around border so it can't block the bridge.🤔

    Why don't they simply anchor the trees off to a land base

      They don't want it to be like any ol island. Makes it unique

    You're telling me, you can't put stakes and ropes/chains to anchor it at a specific part of land?
    It has to be touching land somewhere anyways. It cannot just float indefinitely; so why not just attach it to the best spot, that's good for the wildlife, that it wont come loose at?

    It needs a few pilons to keep it in place.

    @cliffordlacy3267 10 месяцев назад

    Can't they just tie it down like a boat? Drive some stakes through it into the bottom of the lake?

    So weird to say "nearly 25 boats".
    So, was there half a boat?
    Were there 24 boats?
    Why not just say 24 boats? 🤷
