Lake Secession Dock Builder: Custom Docks, Boat Lifts & Dock Repair
Kroeger Marine builds custom aluminum docks on Lake Secession and installs HydroHoist boat lifts, jet ski ports and Marine Concepts boat covers for homeowners near Abbeville, Iva and Starr, SC. We also repair and remodel existing docks.
We've been building docks in the Upstate since 1985 from our Seneca, SC shop. Every dock is designed for your shoreline, your boats and the way your family uses the lake.
Docks Designed for the Upstate's Hidden-Gem Lake
Lake Secession is a 1,425-acre reservoir on the Rocky River with about 52 miles of shoreline across Abbeville and Anderson counties. It's smaller and quieter than Hartwell or Russell, but it has no horsepower limits, so docks here still need to handle wake from runabouts and wake boats.
Not a Corps of Engineers lake
The City of Abbeville owns and operates Lake Secession and its hydroelectric dam. That means the rules are different from Corps lakes like Hartwell. We confirm the current requirements for your property before we design, so your dock is built right the first time.
Engineered for changing water levels
Our floating docks pair a heavy-duty aluminum understructure with rotomolded floats, anchored with Kroeger pilings or a cable-and-winch system. Your dock rides with the water level instead of fighting it, from full summer pool through the winter.

Questions About Docks on Lake Secession
Who builds docks on Lake Secession?
Kroeger Marine is a dock builder serving Lake Secession in Abbeville and Anderson counties, SC. We build custom aluminum docks and install boat lifts, HydroHoist lifts, jet ski ports and boat covers, and we repair and remodel existing docks. We've built docks in the Upstate since 1985.
Who owns Lake Secession, and is it a Corps of Engineers lake?
Lake Secession and its hydroelectric dam are owned and operated by the City of Abbeville. It is not a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lake like Hartwell or Russell, so Corps shoreline permits don't apply. We confirm current City of Abbeville and county requirements for your property before construction.
Does the water level change on Lake Secession?
Yes. The lake typically sits at full pond in spring and summer and is lowered in winter. Our floating docks and HydroHoist boat lifts are built to rise and fall with the water, and the winter drawdown is often a good window for dock repairs.
Are aluminum docks a good choice for Lake Secession?
Yes. An aluminum understructure doesn't rot, needs little maintenance and holds up to boat wake. Paired with rotomolded floats, it gives you a stable floating dock that handles seasonal water-level changes.
Do you repair or remodel existing docks on Lake Secession?
Yes. We repair storm damage, pilings, brackets, flotation, cables and winches, and we remodel older docks with new decking, roofs, railings, slips or a new layout, including docks built by other companies.
Can you add a boat lift, jet ski port or boat cover to my dock?
Yes. We install HydroHoist, ShoreMaster and Tide Tamer boat lifts, HydroHoist and EZ Dock jet ski ports, and Marine Concepts custom boat covers on new and existing docks.
