My understanding is they could be 10 feet from shore and still be legal. State water is defined as the mean high water mark and the public has the right to use all of it, to the water’s edge, even though that might be discourteous. The only limitation is a prohibition against blocking access of those who hold littoral rights; I can be a jerk and anchor 10 feet in front of your dock as long as I don’t obstruct passage from your dock out to the lake.
