I am a brand new lake property owner in Minnesota. Not much lakeshore but lakeshore it is. Only about 15 feet. I have read all of the posts and all of the DNR stuff I could find. My question is that I have a 109.75″ pontoon lift and 112″ between a tree and the neighbors dock. If we get it past the tree we are ok. It will still be a tight fit – about 120″ or between one neighbor’s lift and the other neighbors dock. The neighbors have enjoyed the space directly in front of our property since they moved in about 8 years ago. My Aunt owned the property for 25 years. Now they don’t think we should but a lift in because it will interfere with their pontoon. We just want to be able to enjoy the lake too. I don’t see where it would interfere but then I could very well be wrong.
