Project Overview

These docks serve the Fort Ticonderoga Boat Launch site on Fort Ti Road (NYS 74), adjacent to the Fort Ti Ferry which links Ticonderoga and Shoreham, VT. Built to meet stringent state specifications, they are heavily used by the public on a continual basis throughout the season.

Ipe hardwood decking on aluminum framing delivers a traditional aesthetic with long-term durability. The aluminum gangway allows access to the docks throughout the water fluctuation of Lake Champlain — a critical feature for a public boat launch that must remain accessible regardless of seasonal water levels.

Why Aluminum?

State-spec public boat launches require materials that can withstand constant heavy use without requiring annual maintenance budgets. The aluminum frame provides the structural integrity needed for a high-traffic public facility, while the Ipe hardwood decking satisfies aesthetic requirements for a historic site adjacent to Fort Ticonderoga.
