Four to eight feet depth is just a big pond. What would it cost to dredge it and have a “true” lake?

Fertilizer from yards has a lot to do with the aquatic growth which is brought in by birds who have visited other lakes.
When it goes dry, it should be excavated down to its original level, anything else is just a band aid. Then leave it as a wet weather pond and let nature take care of it.
