Twin Lakes, Kenosha County about 35 minutes from Elkhorn

Twin Lakes straddles Lake Mary and Lake Elizabeth in the southeast corner of Kenosha County, close to the Illinois line. The two lakes give the village its name and its shoreline, with residential frontage wrapped around both waters.

Being in Kenosha County is the key fact for shoreline projects here. The shoreland zoning office that reviews setbacks and shoreline standards is a different office from Walworth County's, so a Twin Lakes project is planned with the right county in mind from the start.

Twin Lakes

Two Lakes, One Village

Lake Mary and Lake Elizabeth are the twin lakes the village is built around, and shoreline work here serves residential frontage on both. Ice shove and freeze-thaw push against seawalls and permanent piers every winter on these waters, and the spring thaw is when most damage shows up.

Whether it is a wall on Lake Mary or a pier on Lake Elizabeth, we plan around the lake the property is actually on, since depth and bottom conditions differ between the two.

Seawalls, Docks and Ramps in Twin Lakes

We handle seawall construction and replacement, dock and pier building, and boat ramps on both lakes. For existing walls, we assess whether repair or full replacement is the right call. For piers, we plan around water depth and how a family uses the waterfront. See our service pages for how each project works.

Twin Lakes

Kenosha County Zoning, Not Walworth

Twin Lakes is in Kenosha County, so the shoreland zoning office that reviews setbacks and shoreline standards is a different office from the one in Walworth County. The Wisconsin DNR still regulates work on the navigable water. Read our permits guide, then confirm the requirements for your property with the DNR and Kenosha County.

Twin Lakes Shoreline Questions

Twin Lakes Marine Construction FAQ

Which county handles zoning for my Twin Lakes shoreline?

Kenosha County. Twin Lakes is in Kenosha County, so the shoreland zoning office that reviews setbacks and shoreline standards is a different office from Walworth County's. The Wisconsin DNR still regulates work on the water.

My Lake Mary seawall is leaning, can it be repaired?

Sometimes. We assess whether a wall can be repaired or needs full replacement based on leaning, cracking and fill loss. Ice shove is the usual cause on these lakes. Send us photos and we will take a look.

Can you build a dock on Lake Elizabeth?

Yes. We plan a pier around water depth, bottom conditions and how your family uses the waterfront. Lake Mary and Lake Elizabeth differ in depth and bottom, so we plan around the lake your property is on.

Do I need a permit for shoreline work in Twin Lakes?

Work on the navigable water is regulated by the Wisconsin DNR, and Kenosha County runs shoreland zoning. Read our permits guide, then confirm the requirements for your property with the DNR and the county.

Can you build a boat ramp in Twin Lakes?

We can. Slope, base and the underwater end of the ramp are what hold up against ice and wave action. Ramps on navigable water typically need a DNR permit, so we plan with that in mind.
