a land bridge

24" rocks are fine, round rocks are great becuse they naturally leave gaps between themselves for the water to flow.   I would not dredge, just drop the rocks in the muck.

Above all, make sure you either have all your necessary permits, or have checked to make sure you don't need a permit.  Here in VT, you'd be surprised what kind of ca-ca you can get yourself mired in, legal-wise, just by dropping rocks in a "wetland".

Thanks for your reply.  Just a thought....won't there be some settling of the rocks over time if it's not dredged?  

Regarding the necessary permits, I sense the same in NH.  No work has been done yet but the wetlands permit should be in hand in a month or two.  Once it's in place work will begin on the driveway and we can start taking out the timber as well.  Hate seeing the warm months go by waiting for the permit but that's how it goes.
