About the Lake

Built for Lake Ocoee's cabin shoreline.

Ocoee is the smallest TVA reservoir in our service area — just under 2,000 acres impounded on the Ocoee River. Most lake-front properties are cabin-style, with steep wooded shorelines and limited water frontage. The build scope tends to be smaller: single-slip boathouses, open fishing docks, and compact pavilion builds.

We build pile-driven fixed docks suited to Ocoee's compact properties, with metal-roof gables, fishing-friendly bench seating, and low-voltage rail lighting for evening dock time. Floating systems are also possible where depth and slope call for them.

Lake Ocoee FAQ

Common questions.

How small is Lake Ocoee?

Just under 2,000 acres — about 20× smaller than Watts Bar. That doesn't mean less beautiful; it means a different scale of dock and a quieter waterfront.

Is Ocoee TVA-managed?

Yes. Even at the smaller scale, every dock on Ocoee needs an approved TVA 26a permit. We file and pay the application on every build we sign.

Why is Ocoee a cabin lake?

The shorelines run through the Cherokee National Forest, and many lake-front lots are cabin-scale rather than year-round residences. The dock builds match that scale.
