"I've found a house that we might buy that is on a lake, but it doesn't own the bank nor the lake (it's actually a modest house). A risk that I'm willing to take is that landing/taking off won't cause offence, and it won't cause any damage to the lake. The bank itself is inaccessible to whomever owns it, so I was thinking of cheekily making a temporary slip of stones and gravel so that the plane can be garaged on the house's property"
Before you get into a boundary dispute with your new neighbour, try the lake out first with a boat. See who comes out to stop you if any. It's much cheaper to try launch a boat and fail than try launch a plane and fail.
