Lake Docks
Docks provide a place to swim, fish, and moor boats. They are the starting and finishing
stage for most active days on the lake. Whether bringing your own boat, or are renting
one, most resorts have well maintained docks which will help your boating activities go
smoothly. The Corps of Engineers regulates dock permits, how docks are constructed, and
enforces maintenance requirements. It is not permissible for any dock to have an enclosed
area, such as a house or cabin. The exception is at commercial marinas where stores and
repair facilities do have enclosed structures floating on their docks. Resort docks are
wired with 110 volt illumination and receptacles for charging batteries. Unlike docks in
many lakes, docks on Norfork float so that they can be moved in and out as water levels
change. Water levels in the lake can change by as much as 35 feet in a year. Docks are
moved in as water rises, and moved out as water falls. Rain fills the lake, hydrogenation
at Norfork Dam lowers the water levels. |
