(Please note that lake levels naturally ebb and flow with the seasons—reaching their highest points during the spring and summer months and gradually lowering through early fall. As a river-fed lake, this natural fluctuation is expected and typical of the area. The dock can be extended or shortened to best accommodate seasonal changes and the homeowner's preferences. The listing photos shown were taken in early June, when the lake was near its seasonal high.)
