You can and should plant trees the only area of real concern with roots is around the dam area. Your last 3 pictures are too small to make out much. I would say put the dock close to the house depending on the depths of the pond. If you want the dock to be stationary it is a good time to get vertical supports installed now while the pond is dry. If you are planning on a floating dock then no real rush. Floating docks work better on ponds that tend to fluctuate allot with changing seasons. Good luck to ya.
