Every Inks Lake waterfront property needs a safe path to the water. The right system depends on the site: granite and gneiss bedrock substrate, slope grade, flood zone, traffic intensity, and the property owner's aesthetic preference.
Walkway projects on Inks Lake near Burnet, Buchanan Dam, Inks Lake State Park 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.

Waterfront walkway and boardwalk construction along Inks Lake in wood, composite, aluminum, concrete and gravel — providing safe shoreline access across granite and gneiss bedrock terrain exposed to limited wind fetch on narrow lake, recreational boat traffic. Every walkway is designed for the specific grade, drainage and loading conditions of the parcel near Burnet, Buchanan Dam, Inks Lake State Park.
Standard residential walkways on Inks Lake are 4 to 6 feet wide. ADA-accessible paths need a minimum of 4 feet clear. Walkways that carry golf carts or utility vehicles need 6 to 8 feet. Width also depends on traffic volume and whether the walkway doubles as a viewing platform.
Starting at $20/sq ft for labor and materials on Inks Lake. Gravel paths cost less; elevated composite boardwalks on pilings cost more. Final price depends on length, width, material, elevation, and granite and gneiss bedrock substrate conditions.
Inks Lake is subject to limited wind fetch on narrow lake, recreational boat traffic. Elevated boardwalks are designed above the flood elevation. At-grade paths in flood zones use permeable materials like gravel that drain quickly. Shore Protect Team designs every walkway for the lake's full water level range.
Yes. Elevated boardwalks on driven pilings minimize ground disturbance — the structure spans over the granite and gneiss bedrock terrain rather than grading through it. This approach is preferred in sensitive shoreline areas and marshy sections along Inks Lake.
