Assuming you've had your local soil tested for resistivity ---well, skip that and let's move on...Do you live on a house boat?
If not, what is the distance from your house service to this lake?
Who owns the lake?
Who owns the land between your house and the lake?
What wiring methods would you use to get the grounding electrode conductor from your house to the lake?
How do you propose to drive a ground rod underwater?
(Try swinging a golf club or bat underwater first...)
What exactly are we trying to accomplish here?
