10,400 acres of TVA reservoir downstream of Chattanooga, stretching past Jasper and South Pittsburg toward the Alabama line. Steady year-round levels make Nickajack one of the easier lakes to build a fixed-dock boathouse on.
Nickajack holds a remarkably steady pool through the year — about two feet of seasonal drawdown — which means a fixed pile-driven dock can stay productive in every season without seasonal adjustment. The lake winds through wooded mountains, with mixed shorelines and steady current along the main channel.
Most Nickajack builds are covered slip fixed boathouses with metal-roof gables. We also build open-air pavilions, fishing docks, and floating dock systems for the deeper coves and properties with steeper shoreline access.
Custom docks, boat lifts, decks, and shoreline improvements, all designed to make your waterfront more useful, comfortable, and inviting.
Built on pilings driven into the lakebed, our fixed docks provide a sturdy platform for life on the water, with options for covered boat slips, metal roofs, and custom layouts.

How It Works →Fixed + Covered Slips are the most common build here. Here's why — and what else works depending on your shoreline.
Pile-driven fixed dock with covered slip and standing-seam metal roof. Built once, used year-round.
Aluminum-frame floating dock for properties with deeper water or steeper shoreline.
Nickajack is downstream of the Chickamauga Dam, smaller (10,400 vs 36,000 acres), and slightly steadier in water level. It also runs more remote — fewer marinas, more private lake-front.
Yes — Nickajack crosses into Alabama near Bridgeport. We work on either side of the state line.
Yes — Nickajack is TVA-managed. Every dock and shoreline structure needs an approved Section 26a permit. We file and pay it for every build we sign.
