There are several factors that go into answering your question fully. But the general rule is that with lakefront property, your property extends to the low-water mark. "For purposes of placing a dock" can be another issue, depending on permit requirements your town may have.

I would be happy to review your situation for you to determine if you need legal assistance with these issues.
