They kind of said but didn't spell it out, am I reading this right?
This guy was mad because previous park policy was to dredge the river in such a way that he could get into the lake from his dock up river. Park put a new policy in place that the river path will go back to its wild ways, which means now this dude's dock is useless unless water levels are at a certain point. So he decided he would just dig his own path into the lake.

No different than rich fucks that cut down city trees to improve their "view."

Yes, but it was a boat launch not his dock.
