Interesting problem: An old friend across from me...has a huge poured-concrete wall built in 1948.
It is eroding from the top!

As to "historic levels" (and duck itch):
I've just sighted a shoreline maple tree that is about 60 years old. There's
no way that tree could have taken root—even at today's "low" lake level.
IOW, the lake's level "historically" was
much lower than today's level.
The
Duck Itch condition
is not in the memories of my Camp Wyanoke camp-mates. (Meaning,
Duck Itch is "something-new" to the lake—just as
algae has become "new").
The only correlating change (to
Duck Itch and algae) are the huge lakeside lawns that have sprung up in those same years.
