Docks

New Dock Installation in Northern Michigan

Set Up Right for Your Lake, Your Lifestyle, and Your Boat

A dock should feel like it belongs on your shoreline and work seamlessly with your boat and how you use it.

Recreational Services designs dock systems around your water depth, shoreline layout, lake conditions, and the type of boat you own — whether that’s a pontoon, wake boat, fishing boat, or something larger. Slip size, approach angles, clearance, and traffic flow are planned upfront.

Every dock project begins with a complimentary waterfront consultation. Your shoreline is measured and evaluated before any layout is recommended.

The result: a dock that fits your property, supports your boat properly, and holds up season after season.

Everything Is Handled

From design and installation to seasonal service, your dock system is handled by the same in-house team.

No subcontractors.
No hand-offs.
No surprise adjustment fees.

It’s set up right and ready when the season starts.

Quality Dock Systems That Last

Recreational Services is an authorized dealer of locally made Twin Bay vinyl dock systems, trusted since 1959. Built for Michigan lake conditions, these maintenance-free docks combine strong frames with clean, finished surfaces designed for long-term durability.

Planned properly from the start, your dock:

  • Sits correctly through changing water levels
  • Minimizes unnecessary wear
  • Stays stable and functional year after year
  • Expands easily as your needs grow

Whether you’re creating a single boat slip, adding lounge space, building a multi-slip layout, or planning future expansion, Twin Bay systems are built to adapt without constant upkeep.
