Waterfront access on Stillhouse Hollow Lake centers on the dock. Whether it is a simple fishing pier or a multi-slip marina with lifts and shore power, the structure must be engineered for freshwater conditions, limestone bedrock and clay substrate, and wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, Lampasas River flooding.
Every dock project on Stillhouse Hollow Lake near Belton, Harker Heights, Killeen starts with a site assessment: water depth profile, limestone bedrock and clay probe test, wave fetch analysis, vessel inventory, and owner's wish list. This information drives the design from piling plan through finished accessories.

Stillhouse Hollow Lake experiences wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, Lampasas River flooding. Docks must be designed for the full range — adequate freeboard at high water, sufficient depth at low water. Floating sections and adjustable gangways are common solutions on reservoirs with large drawdown.
