Loudon County · Fort Loudoun & Tellico

Custom dock builder in Lenoir City, Tennessee.

Lenoir City sits on the southern shore of Fort Loudoun Lake and directly across the river from the Tellico Lake reservoir — two very different lakes, two very different build types. We work both, and we specialize in matching the dock to the water it lives on.

About Lenoir City, TN

Built for Lenoir City's two-lake shoreline.

Lenoir City is the Loudon County seat and one of the densest residential dock markets in our service area. Fort Loudoun, on the north side, runs heavy drawdown and almost always builds as a floating system. Tellico, just to the south, has clearer and more stable water and supports premium fixed-dock boathouses.

Most Lenoir City builds we sign are floating dock systems on the Fort Loudoun side and Tellico Village–standard fixed boathouses on the Tellico side. Lifts are Tide Tamer for fixed, Floatair for floating, sized to the boat.

Lenoir City, TN FAQ

Common questions.

Do you build docks on both Fort Loudoun and Tellico from Lenoir City?

Yes. Lenoir City sits between Fort Loudoun Lake and Tellico Lake, and we build on both. Fort Loudoun’s heavier drawdown favors floating systems; Tellico’s clearer, more stable water suits premium fixed boathouses. We match the dock to the water on the site visit.

Do I need a TVA 26a permit to build a dock in Lenoir City?

Yes. Both Fort Loudoun and Tellico are TVA-managed reservoirs, so every dock, boathouse, lift, or shoreline structure needs an approved Section 26a permit. We file and pay the application on every Lenoir City build we sign.

Should I build a fixed or floating dock in Lenoir City?

It depends which lake. The Fort Loudoun side draws down enough that floating systems with Floatair lifts are the safer call; the Tellico side holds clear, stable water that supports fixed pile-driven boathouses with Tide Tamer lifts. We measure depth and drawdown before recommending either.

How far is Lenoir City from your crew?

About an hour from Chattanooga. Lenoir City and the rest of Loudon County are a regular part of our service area, so scheduling a site visit is straightforward.

Do you build to Tellico Village standards on the Tellico side?

Yes. Tellico Village builds go through architectural review, and we design to those standards from day one and submit the package to the ARB along with the TVA 26a permit.
