Lake George Village
The south basin — shallower, busier and more heavily trafficked than anywhere else on the lake, which changes what a dock has to withstand.
Local detail
Areas We Serve
All 32 miles of Lake George, both shores, plus the inland towns — including the shorelines you can only reach by water.
Where does Lake George Docks work?
Across the entire Lake George basin in New York — Lake George Village, Bolton Landing, Diamond Point, Cleverdale, Assembly Point, Kattskill Bay, Pilot Knob, Hague, Silver Bay, Huletts Landing, Putnam Station, Ticonderoga, Dunham's Bay, Sabbath Day Point and Northwest Bay, plus Queensbury, Glens Falls and Warrensburg inland. That covers Warren and Washington counties and the towns of Lake George, Bolton, Hague, Queensbury, Fort Ann, Dresden, Putnam and Ticonderoga. We reach water-access-only shorelines by barge, which is a routine part of how we work rather than a special arrangement.
One lake, many shorelines
Lake George is not one body of water from a construction standpoint. It is a shallow, busy southern basin and a deep, exposed northern one, with a rock bottom that changes character within a boat length.
Exposure and fetch determine wave loading. Bottom composition determines cribs or piles. Depth close to shore determines how much structure you need to reach usable water. Distance from the south basin changes the sensible trade-off between up-front cost and maintenance.
A design that is right in Harris Bay can be wrong in Hague — which is why these pages exist.
Communities
Shoreline by shoreline
What is different about building in each part of the lake.
Bolton Landing
Deep water close to shore and a legacy of significant boathouses — a shoreline where restoration work outnumbers new construction.
Local detail
Diamond Point
West shore between the village and Bolton — a transitional stretch where south-basin traffic meets deeper, more exposed water.
Local detail
Cleverdale
A narrow peninsula with water on both sides — which means two very different shorelines on properties a few hundred feet apart.
Local detail
Assembly Point
Another peninsula community with protected bay frontage and open-lake frontage — and the setback arithmetic that comes with closely spaced lots.
Local detail
Kattskill Bay
East shore, Washington County — steeper ground behind the shoreline and a different town permitting path from the Warren County communities.
Local detail
Pilot Knob
Steep east-shore ground below Buck Mountain — where getting safely down to the water is often a bigger project than the dock itself.
Local detail
Hague
The north end — deep, cold, exposed and considerably further from a supplier than the south basin. Logistics are part of the engineering here.
Local detail
Silver Bay
North-end west shore — deep water, long views and a shoreline where the winter build window matters more than anywhere.
Local detail
Huletts Landing
Remote east-shore community in Washington County — a stretch where water access is often the only practical way to get a project done.

Common questions
Working across the lake
Access, local permitting and why location changes the design.
Do the dock rules change from town to town on Lake George?
The Lake George Park Commission's rules apply lake-wide — 700 square feet including the walkway, 8-foot pier width, 40-foot overall width, extension limits, 16-foot height and 20-foot setbacks, with dock counts scaling by frontage. What changes locally is the town building permit and zoning, and several lakeside towns apply shoreline provisions stricter than the state baseline. Adirondack Park Agency jurisdiction applies across the whole basin.
Do you work on shorelines with no road access?
Yes. A meaningful share of Lake George shoreline is reachable only by water, and we run barge access specifically for it. Materials, equipment and crew go in by boat. It is a normal part of how we work rather than a special arrangement.
Does my location on the lake change what I should build?
Considerably. Exposure and fetch determine the wave loading a structure sees; bottom composition determines whether cribs or piles are appropriate; depth close to shore determines how much structure you need to reach usable water; and distance from the south basin affects the sensible trade-off between up-front cost and maintenance cycle. A design that is right in Harris Bay can be wrong in Hague.
How quickly can you get to my property?
We work the full lake and schedule geographically where we can. For emergencies we respond year-round — call (518) 260-9878. For planned work, north-end and water-access properties benefit from being scheduled into a broader trip, which is another reason to start the conversation early.
