...as long as you crank your dock up high enough! Lesson learned this year: make sure you pull the dock up high enough that the legs closest to shore are high enough to avoid the rising ice as the lake refills during the early spring. Ours was OK in the Fall, but didn't give it enough clearance to account for the high spring lake levels. We lost both shore-side dock legs (Thank You, Island Girl, for spotting it this weekend and letting us know!)
