Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maine

easement appurtenant meaning

my neighbors have an easement appurtenant to have access to the lake for boating, bathing and all other shore priviliges. Does this mean they have the right to leave their kayaks, canoes and other personal belongings on my property and to put in a dock and to mow my lawn etc??
