Or more correctly, your employers insurance carrier might take a very
dim view of this.

You are correct; I don't own the building though the building owner
does own the land (and body of water.)  I figured I probably couldn't
land there, but if there was any possibility I could fly to work I
should at least find out.

that pond looks awfully small. Looks like less than 1000 feet long and
curved.  You'd need to be a pretty skilled floatplane pilot to land
and takeoff there.

I have no idea how much space it takes to land or take off in a
floatplane. It would only be me in the plane and it would be some
kind of lightweight kitplane so in the event it were permissable to
land a plane there I would find the perfect plane to get me in and
out. I didn't even know if this is something worth pursuing. It
sounds like it isn't.

As an aside, I ran into the facilities manager in the hallway this
morning. He told me the pond is actually filling in and the owner has
no plans to dredge it because someday after it fills in it will be
usable land. Flying in there would be a temporary solution anyway.
