Game doesn't allow me to place a tile next to an open lake edge

I think I should be able to play the highlighted tile in the square I marked?

(I mean, i don't think it's a good idea, but it seems like it should be possible?

Hmm, good question. My current opinion is that such placement is not allowed, but perhaps the Lake rulebook states otherwise?

I think that kind of drawing is not possible.
You can find the following in the Rulebook/Drawing Routes section:

  • You can’t draw Routes in a way that directly connects Railways to Highways or vice versa (you need a Station to do that).

You have to take account of the Lake tiles as the other connections as well. So, a "Station" is necessary.

no, there is no reason to assume that by that rule, the designers also meant to forbid placing an open lake face adjacent to a railroad. That rule specifically says that it only applies to Railroads and Highways, there's nothing in the rules that applies that to a lake.
