Dock and swim lines
This would be a good question for the MP to respond to, or a lawyer versed in marine (lake) law. It has always been my 'understanding' that no person can put an obstruction in an otherwise open area of passage without providing some form of notice, ie, lights. If the obstruction (mooring, etc.) is within 150' then boats should be at headway speed and be able to avoid the obstruction; however, if the obstruction was a rope partially below the surface between two points, and the below the surface part was in the otherwise public passage area, then a problem might occur if someone went through there and sustained damage. Probably best to try and not have this situation happen at all, it could clearly louse up an otherwise fun vacation time.
