Permitting on Lake Barkley
Lake Barkley is managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, which means any new dock or major modification requires a permit. We handle that process for you. Permitting typically takes 5–6 weeks. We manage the paperwork, communicate with the Corps, and keep you updated every step of the way. You focus on planning your dock — we'll handle the red tape.
Booking & Lead Times
We stay busy — especially during peak season. Here's what to plan for:
- March through November: 12–14 weeks out from contract to construction start
- December through February: 6–8 weeks out
The earlier you reach out, the sooner we can get you on the schedule. Spring and summer slots fill fast.
