We have property that backers up to a small river in Minnesota. There is a 15 to 17 ft bank and would like to know how to make it accessible. We need something that can withstand flooding...not every year but varies. We are both over 65 so need something easy for us to put together as we will probably have to do the work. What suggestions do you have. We want to keep it as natural as possible.

If you have not already done so,you have to check with the governmental services. Minnesota has very strict rules on what can be done within 1000' of water.......but it does vary a lot with area, particularly the southern part of the state (highly populated,but less restrictive) and the northern (very strict).
