Custom Floating Docks on Chattanooga & East TN Lakes

custom floating dock installation on Chickamauga Lake TN

Why Choose a Floating Dock?

Floating docks are the ideal solution for Tennessee lakes with significant water level fluctuations — including Watts Bar Lake, Fort Loudon Lake, and Chickamauga Lake, where TVA controls water levels seasonally.

Unlike fixed docks, a floating dock rises and falls with the water, maintaining a consistent deck height year-round. This makes them especially practical for boat access during the drawdown season and safer for swimmers and children.

Blue Horizon builds aluminum floating docks designed for East Tennessee's lake conditions. Aluminum construction means your dock is lightweight, corrosion-resistant,

and requires far less maintenance than wood alternatives.

Our Floating Dock Options Include:

• Single-section and multi-section floating dock systems

• Aluminum frames with composite decking

• Floating boat lift platforms

• ADA-accessible configurations for commercial and community docks

• Gangway ramp connections from shore to floating dock

Whether you need a simple floating platform or a full floating dock system with boat slips and amenities, Blue Horizon has the experience to design and build it.

Advantages of a floating dock?

Adapts to fluctuating water levels: In locations with changing water levels from tides, seasonal flooding, or droughts, a floating dock ensures your access remains consistent.
Ideal for deep or soft bottoms: Floating docks are the perfect solution for deeper water where driving pilings for a fixed dock is impractical or for lakes with soft, muddy bottoms.
Built to be durable and withstand the elements: Constructed with high-quality marine-grade aluminum, our docks resist corrosion and extreme weather, promising long-lasting performance.
Low maintenance requirements: Floating docks are designed for minimal upkeep, giving you more time to enjoy the water.

Best time to install?

While we build docks year round, here's how you can make the installation process as smooth as possible:

Start the design and permitting process during the off-season to get a head start. Permits can take a few months to secure, and planning ahead ensures your dock is ready to install as soon as possible.
Get your dock installed just as the weather breaks. This allows you to avoid the summer rush and enjoy your new floating dock for the entire peak season.
