But docks for lakes and floating river docks from Jet Dock overcome every challenge, letting you dock quickly and easily.

A Lake and River Dock That Moves With Water Levels

Because rivers and lakes often have fluctuating water levels due to droughts, floods or melted ice, you need a boat lift or floating river dock that will work through it all. We design our lake and river dock collection to function in any level of water, including shallow water, deep water and even no water. However, some of our drive-on floating dock systems require a certain minimum depth at all times.

Patented Lake and River Boat Dock Design

Whether you need a lake or river boat dock, our boat lifts and floating docks have a patented design suitable for any requirements. This allows them to be installed in deep water to the seafloor when there is no existing infrastructure or in shallow water conditions against an existing structure. When water levels change, your river dock or lift will move with the current and stay afloat no matter what the water level is. Even if there is little to no water due to a tide or drought, Jet Dock's lifts can fully function as long as there is a small amount of water depth at the stern quadrant where the watercraft drives on. Our docks for lakes and floating river docks can rest on the river or lakebed safely until water levels return to normal, making them extremely versatile compared to other boat lifts or dock systems on the market.

Designing Your Floating Lake or River Dock

The nature of your docking location and the size of your boat will determine the overall design of your lake or river dock. The types of docks for lakes and rivers that we offer allow for a wide range of customization. You get everything you need for easy installation, including the winch, launch systems, fasteners, structural beams and more. Contact us for more details or assistance with dock design or ordering.

Floating River Docks Ideal for Icy Conditions

During the winter months, lakes and rivers naturally freeze over. Traditional mechanical boat lifts must be removed because of the risk of freezing and damage. But Jet Dock's floating river docks don't require removal during winter and icy weather. That's because our lake and river docks are made of polymer HDPE materials that are unfazed by frigid temperatures. As long as there isn't moving ice that can cause damage, Jet Dock's floating docks for lakes and rivers are designed to withstand freezing water and can save you time and money by keeping your system installed year-round. When the weather breaks, you can enjoy cold-water boating, knowing that your boat lift will still work just as it was designed to.
