This is a drain at Buck Hill in Spencer, MA. It is intended to allow water to drain under the manmade dam to feed the stream below. (You can see the manmade dam on the bottom edge of the photo.)

The beavers, who can't bear the sound of a water leak, keep 'repairing' the drain. You can see mud and sticks here, which they've used to seal off the drain. The ranger has to clear their work so that the water doesn't overflow the dam.

There are now special draining systems that allow water through without making a "rushing water" sound. Beavers will leave these alone.
