Default ..... the $3.58 solution.

For $3.58 you can purchase a sturdy 50-lb paper sack of Quikrete high strength concrete mix at Lowe's ........ boat it out to your island on your own boat ...... and get to work.

No need to build concrete forms ....... just position the 50-lb bags into an overlapping formation or wall ...... rip-rap style ...... soak em good with the garden hose ..... and 24-hours later ...... you got concrete set in place to keep everything from rolling down the slope, and into the lake ...... or something. .... :rolleye2

To actually make this work, you need to soak the paper bags till very wet so the water really soaks through the paper, and into the concrete mix. Is not as effective as placing the bags underwater, into the lake, because all the dry concrete does not get totally soaked.
