Unlike other area lakes Lake Greenwood is NOT a corp of engineers lake. This gives you more flexibility in doing what you want to do.
Docks are allowed on the majority of properties; however, there are some areas that have been designated as critical habitat areas. The shoreline may not be improved on or modified in these particular areas. To learn more about critical habitat areas click here.
The 2 types of docks that are the most common are floating docks and stationary docks. Sometimes you will see a combination of the 2.
your dock does not extend past 1/3 the total distance from your shoreline to the opposite shoreline;
your dock does not create a safety hazard for navigation of watercraft.
No more than 1200 sq. ft. of surface area. (That's big!)
Enclosed structures are not allowed due to safety concerns for boaters and sight limitations they may cause. Lake Greenwood is a recreational lake and saftey of it's boaters is of utmost importance.
You can have a covered boat slip area as well as a lift if you choose. The sides must be open so as not to interfere or obstruct boaters sight.
Contact Julie Davis at Lake Greenwood Management to request a dock permit application. You can also go online to print it. Take the completed application as well as a "rough draft" sketch of your desired dock with approximate measurements to Lake Greenwood Management for approval. If there is no dock already in place this should be confirmed during your "Due Diligence" period by your Realtor.
