As an example...lets say someone is fly fishing in waders along the edges of the lake. As they walk and wade the edge casting, they come upon your dock. They have every legal right to climb up, onto and over your dock and continue on with their legal activity of fishing.
Your dock is over a public waterway. The public has the right to cross over it if it impedes a legal activity.
Hope this helps;
