Access Structure and Private Boat Docks

​​​​This page details the requirements and procedures for obtaining permits for existing structures or for constructing new structures on and around certain Department-owned lakes. There are currently 11 lakes listed under this regulation that are owned by the Agency in deed or have a fishing access easement on the shoreline. It illustrates structures and their dimensions that adjacent landowners may legally build on Department-owned lakes and the buffer land around those lakes. These regulations are intended to allow additional lake access to adjacent landowners while limiting construction to ensure that erosion will not be a problem and that the natural beauty of the lakes and lands is not unduly affected.  Please review the guide below if you are considering building or rebuilding a fishing access structure on any state-owned lake.
