FLOATING TRAILS & WALKWAYS
Custom-Designed Floating Walkways
NyDock offers custom-designed floating walkways tailored to your specific site. These walkways provide an affordable alternative to costly fixed construction methods, making them ideal for crossing wetlands. Our systems can rest on the ground or float, adapting seamlessly to flood-prone areas, soft or muddy land, marshes, bogs, or wetlands. Whether the ground is frozen, thawing, flooding, or dry, our trail system requires virtually no maintenance or adjustment.
Flexible and Aesthetic Designs
Our trails can follow geographic contours or include curves for aesthetic appeal. Available with vehicle curbs or railings on one or both sides, they suit more than just foot traffic. We can adjust the pontoon size to match the desired load capacity, accommodating simple bicycle or pedestrian trails, all the way up to UTVs, and golf carts.
Versatile Applications
NyDock floating walkways are perfect for transitioning over wetlands and are ideal for pedestrian walkways, golf cart paths, beach access, snowmobiles, ATVs, and wildlife observation.
Expansive and Accessible Floating Boardwalks
Our floating boardwalks can form small bridges or expansive floating trails, allowing people to walk, bike, or run over water or marshland. When built in collaboration with parks, municipalities, or developments, they create a floating trail attraction for recreation, nature watching, and more.
Adaptable to Changing Water Levels
NyDock trails vary in width, typically from 6 to 10 feet, and can extend for miles. They remain flat from end to end, ensuring easy access and low-effort walking or bicycling. Our trails can wind through various lake areas, offering diverse scenic views. NyDock floating trails are securely anchored regardless of fluctuating water levels, making lakes accessible even when water levels change dramatically.
Eco-Friendly and Low-Maintenance
With decking options in wood or composite materials, our trails blend into the surroundings without being toxic to the environment or requiring high maintenance. Safety rails and bench platforms can be added to provide resting spots, birdwatching areas, or scenic viewpoints.
Lasting Community Impact
A NyDock floating boardwalk enhances properties and surrounding areas, increasing appeal for locals and tourists alike. It encourages physical activity, improves lake access, and offers new perspectives of the property. Floating trails can boost the economic and recreational value of a town, park, or development.
Project Considerations
NyDock floating walkways add safety and value to waterfront properties without harming the environment. Our docks float on water, avoiding invasive digging and allowing natural flora growth beneath them. They are easy to install, move, or reconfigure, offering unmatched longevity and versatility.
Personal, Business, and Commercial Applications
