Docking and depth. Dock feasibility is also parcel-specific. Depth transitions in many sections are very gradual. There's a gradual drop-off, as they say. But bottom composition varies along the shoreline curve. Variables include the following: sand dominant stretches, mixed sand and stone, submerged rock in some locations, and seasonal water level fluctuation. Water levels across the Great Lakes cycle affect dock length and shoreline position.
