I can visualize water levels ABOVE dock surfaces would be a problem but that would have to be quite a bit higher than "full lake" so what other problems can occur?


Go over to Sheps, part of their docks are under water as well as part of the town dock there.

Dock levels are relative and probably why full lake is determined by a more precise measurement - as compared to sea level.

Far as any additional problems, clearly shoreline erosion is the biggest concern once you see water levels exceed the natural exposed rock along the shores that protect the soils that are behind them.
