Kawartha Lakes Dock Builders
From Sturgeon Lake to Pigeon, Buckhorn, Balsam, Cameron, and Stoney, the Kawartha Lakes are known for their scenic beauty—and their busy boat traffic. Your dock needs to stand up to fluctuating water levels, ice pressure, and constant wake action, all while giving your family a safe, welcoming space to swim, tie up, or relax.
At Cottage Docks, we design and build docks that match your shoreline and lifestyle, using durable materials and proven systems that make seasonal changes simple.

We use a variety of high-quality materials.
We use only Techstar Floats under our floating docks. The #1 float manufacturer in the world made here in Canada. These floats also have a exclusive lifetime warranty.
We construct our docks as one solid unit, eliminating the weak points commonly found in our competitors “snap-together” dock configurations.
Every floating dock frame is built out of the highest-grade pressure-treated 2×8 construction. Over 50% of our header boards are covered in ½” Heavy-Duty Galvanized (HDG) Steel and ½” HDG fastening hardware. This ensures that your dock remains perfectly square.
Unlike our competition, who often use inferior 5/4” PT, our decking is made from kiln-dried, premium-grade 2×6 lumber from certified forests for sustainable forest management.

The best dock depends heavily on your specific waterfront conditions. Floating docks are often great for deep or fluctuating water, while pipe/standing docks can be ideal for firmer bottoms and moderate depths. We assess your shoreline during our consultation to recommend the most suitable and stable option, whether it’s a floating, pipe, cantilever, or even a permanent crib style (where permitted).
Absolutely! We specialize in creating custom waterfront packages. Whether you need a specific shape (L-shape, T-shape, platform), multiple slips, or integrated features like benches or ramps, our team will work with you from concept to completion to design a dock that perfectly fits your property and lifestyle.
