According to the Corp of Engineers in Pa on rivers I get a permit to erect my docks and pilings they are my property and I control assess and who is allowed on them. The permit is just permission to erect on federal right a way and water. I'm thinking the rules are going to be similar for the lakes with just some minor changes as the corp of engineers is the same group across the country. You used to be able to get a copy of the rules from the government printing house, my copy is so old probably outdated.But a permit to build does not address allowable use or ownership. If a transfer of ownership or lease doesn't exist then surely it must be within our rights to occupy any dock erected on public bottomlands? There's gotta be something out there saying that you own or have exclusive right to use a dock you build on state land?
