question about homesteads / totems

so lets say hypothetically that a friend of mine wants to build a bridge to the middle of the lake and build his island there. would he have to put a totem down on the beach and then abandon/recreate a new one once he has built the walkway far enough? is it even possible to terraform the lake in a way to make a land bridge to an island.?

Thats correct, that is how I got a stream to my upper mountain spot.

6 hour cool down on setting totems is ganna make that diffacult

channeled water (ie. an artificial moat made by flooding a trench) is not viewed by the game as 'real' water...ie you can't drink it, or fish in it.
