Every Elkins Lake waterfront property needs a safe path to the water. The right system depends on the site: sandy clay substrate, slope grade, flood zone, traffic intensity, and the property owner's aesthetic preference.
Walkway projects on Elkins Lake near Huntsville, Walker County range from simple — a 50-foot gravel path to the dock — to complex — a 200-foot elevated composite boardwalk through flood-zone terrain. Shore Protect Team handles both ends of the spectrum and everything between.
