Lakes We Serve · TX / LA

Marine construction on Caddo Lake.

Spread across Harrison and Marion counties in Texas and Caddo Parish in Louisiana, Caddo Lake is a roughly 25,000-acre on Big Cypress Bayou whose waterfront communities center on Uncertain, Karnack, and Mooringsport.

Know the Water

Texas's natural cypress lake — shallow, mossy, one of a kind.

It is shallow, natural water — barge access, light-footprint piers, and erosion-aware shoreline work matter more here than massive retaining walls. Oversight here is shared — Texas and Louisiana agencies, which share oversight of the lake — so we confirm exactly which approvals apply to your stretch of shoreline before design begins.

Caddo is shallow, natural water threaded with cypress — the kind of place where barge access, light-footprint piers, and careful routing around standing timber matter far more than heavy retaining walls.

Things To Know

Before you build on Caddo Lake.

01

Who approves shoreline construction on Caddo Lake?

Texas and Louisiana agencies, which share oversight of the lake — and requirements change over time, so we verify the current rules and carry the approvals as part of every project rather than leaving them to the owner.

02

What's different about building on shallow, natural water like Caddo Lake?

Access and footprint. Equipment comes in by shallow-draft barge, piers are kept light and long, and shoreline work respects the cypress and the bottom rather than fighting them.

03

Does Shore Tech build on Caddo Lake?

Yes — Caddo Lake sits inside Shore Tech's core service area, within roughly 120 miles of our Huntsville base. We build here regularly.
