I think it's called a den. There was a small creek on my dads farm when I was little. This creek ran into a larger river about 1/2 south. Some beavers built their dam and den so the water in the creek would be deeper and protect their den. They used small trees and corn stalks.

Dam! What the hell are those called?

I don't know...but I DO have one on my private lake, and I gotta bust it up and burn it out. Those buggers took down seven of my trees overnight one night last week!!! They're a destructive menace! In fact, I just ran off the folks from Extreme Makeover-Home Edition, who were willing to take the lodge/nest/whatever down, but were gonna build a new and improved one for the little dears. No way! [The first paragraph is true...the second a :-)]

They are called a lodge. We've got two on our pond, plus an old one that was abandoned many years ago. Both of them are attached to the sides of the pond as opposed to the type that are surrounded by water completely. Those are much safer for the beavers, but our terrain may not have been conducive to that kind of lodge. The first photo is of the lodge on the far side of the pond, the first that this pair of beavers made. Then the next year they built the one that you can see in the second photo from above the first lodge. Our house is to the right and the new lodge is on the left, those big twigs under that very bright red tree next to the green hemlocks. The last two photos are the newer lodge, a front view from a canoe and back view from the ground. This is just about 100 feet from the house.
