Rayhunt
While I agree with much of what you say I think you are wrong about a few things. Swim lines do not have a 6 ft regulation. All swim lines must be approved by the Department of Safety and they can be placed anywhere the permit allows. If you were within a swim line you were the one breaking the law.
Yes, the lake belongs to the State. The bathroom in the Governors office at the Statehouse also belongs to the state. That doesn't mean you can stop by and use it.
A conservation easement does not mean public property. Land with a conservation easement can still be private property. It is just a legal device to prevent certain types of future development.
If the situation arises again I think you should call the Marine Patrol. An officer can stop by and tell you both who is right and who is wrong.
