Marine construction on Houston County Lake.

Houston County Lake is a roughly 1,300-acre lake on Little Elkhart Creek spanning Houston County, serving the Crockett and Lovelady area.

Know the Water

Quiet East Texas water where Shore Tech rebuilt the Crockett Family Resort marina.

Water levels here stay comparatively steady, which rewards fixed piers, full-height bulkheads, and boathouses built tight to the waterline. The Houston County Water Control & Improvement District manages the lake, and shoreline construction is approved through the district — paperwork Shore Tech takes on with the build.

Shore Tech replaced the aging 1980s marina at Crockett Family Resort on this lake with a new small-slip layout, and built the Broxson family swim pier just down the road in Lovelady — this corner of East Texas is well-traveled ground for our crews.

What We Build Here

Full-scope waterfront work on Houston County Lake.

Custom Boathouses

Entertainment-grade boathouses on Houston County Lake — open-gable cooling, lifts, lighting, and storm-rated substructures.

Docks & Piers

Fixed, floating, and swim piers built tight to a constant-level shoreline.

Bulkheads & Retaining Walls

Shoreline retention on Houston County Lake: galvanized steel, vinyl, FRP composite, and heavy timber — matched to the soil and exposure.

Precision Dredging

Boat slip, shoreline, and access-channel dredging — material pumped for backfill reuse instead of hauled off by truck.

Things To Know

Before you build on Houston County Lake.

01

Who approves shoreline construction on Houston County Lake?

Houston County Water Control & Improvement District — 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

Does a stable lake level make construction easier on Houston County Lake?

It helps — fixed piers and full-height bulkheads thrive on constant-level water. The structure can be built tight to the waterline without designing for a huge seasonal swing.

03

Does Shore Tech build on Houston County Lake?

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