A tree falls into the lake....

Lost a very large old pine that had been hit by lightning back in 1985. Had been leaning badly, (almost 30 degree angle) since. Snow ice and wind knocked it and two others on a property to the south into the lake.

I already have two down from prior to my purchase, been like that for years. Makes for great fishing for everyone else on the lake. Only difference is that it fell into an area that is quite narrow.

It is a section where it is less than 100' to shore yet the jet skis and water skiers still blast through as fast as they want vs the 5mph per DEC regs.

My first inclination is to remove it and be a good "neighbor", but keeping it there would sure put a cramp into the speeds traveled through the cut.

I really don't mid the noise, part of the "charm" of living on a populated lake, but the erosion is becoming troubling. Still, it is an esker and will probably be another few thousand years before it gets to the point where it is an issue

I've googled, can't finds anything. Head of our Protective Association calls it a "hazard" to navigation.

Guess the question is, am I required by law to remove? Got a call into the APA as the APA Shoreline Restrictions are moot on it.
