Cherokee County
Waterfront Construction in
Jacksonville, TX
Jacksonville is the largest Cherokee County waterfront market — home of city-owned Lake Jacksonville plus an active corridor of properties on the east side of Lake Palestine.
On the ground in Jacksonville
Lake Jacksonville (1,320 acres) is owned and managed by the City of Jacksonville, with its own shoreline rules and a permit office independent of the bigger TRWD/AMWA/UNRMWA system. Most residential work here is private deeded-lot docks with single or dual lifts, plus periodic dredging in the longer coves. The Lake Palestine east shore in this market follows UNRMWA rules; we manage both authority packets on the same project when an owner has properties on each lake.
