Have you considered a floating dock. I read on hear were they made a dock that had a ramp on both sides to the bank of a 10 by 20 foot platform.You then could dig post hole and fill with concrete on dry ground to anchor the ramps. The 2 ramps made it stable in the wind and also let it go up and down with the water. Make sure the ramps would be attached at the same level or they would bind up and not go up and down very well. In Between the ramps you could net off for small kids to swim or to raise small fry to a larger size to put in your pond. I would of did my dock that way if I would have known about it.
