If I were in your situation, would think carefully before clearing the trees. They provide shade, especially important during summer afternoons when the water is hot. They provide a windbreak, too. Fun to watch various birds roost! Unless your trees are water hogs, like willows, you may be better off keeping some of them.

I have pretty tall pines lining the shoreline and am glad for it. In fact, I'm planning on felling a few of them into the water to help build cover, though not enough to lose the shade or windbreak.
