Working on Payne Springs

Payne Springs sits on the upper-northern reaches of Cedar Creek Lake — quiet deeded-lot communities, longer driveways, and a more wooded shoreline than the lake's high-traffic southern arm.

The upper main body shallows out as the Cedar Creek arm approaches the headwaters, which influences piling length and ramp grade. TRWD permitting is the same packet as anywhere on the lake, but the shoreline-management plan for this segment limits some dock geometries (no fully-enclosed boathouses on certain bank classes, for example). We design here with sediment buildup in mind — gentle slopes silt in faster than steeper banks, and that drives a 10–15 year dredge cycle on many lots.
