While there will always be those few exceptions, I think most lake residents would thank you for the effort if you dropped something on the shore. In most cases, it will eventually drift in anyway, and most lakefront owners are also boaters who will appreciate the effort.
If it is something too big to haul on board, I can understand how difficult it might be to tow it for a long distance. It the landowners are there, ask. If not, when they arrive, they'll just think it drifted in
