Dock length question for Shore Things

codeman671 · 08-23-2010, 10:39 AM

I know the typical rule for permanent docks where you are allowed 25 feet of dock starting at 3 feet of water at full lake, or normally 30 feet of length and 40 feet on a seasonal. What are the limitations to this, say in an instance of excessively shallow water? I have looked at a few properties recently that have had very shallow water and am curious to see how this would be handled.

Also, what about size limitations for walkways/platforms connecting fingers at the shoreline in this case?
