Serving Sun Valley Lake for more than 35 years, L&N Docks is the leader in custom docks. Our docks are designed and built off-site by hand, to ensure your motorized and non-motorized lake property is protected for years to come. All docks are constructed entirely of corrosion-resistant materials and use a modern, non-slip, maintenance-free vinyl decking that does not hold summer heat or fade like composite. L&N is also an authorized dealer of Econo Lift boat systems keeping your watercraft out of the water and eliminating hours of scrubbing. Our efficient manufacturing process takes your dock from design to installation in as short amount of time as possible, and all docks are installed by our factory-trained personnel, in most cases, in just one day.
Visit our website or contact us for a quote today. We look forward to serving your needs on beautiful Sun Valley Lake!

I am Cherri Vos, I am no stranger to Sun Valley Lake. Growing up at the lake and helping in the development of Sun Valley, not only gave me a love for the lake lifestyle, but it also gives me a unique insight into the real estate market in the area.
I am currently living at Sun Valley and have a true passion for Sun Valley. I have tremendous knowledge of the lake area and Ringgold County, which allows me to genuinely connect with lake buyers and sellers...most of who turn into lifelong relationships.
Sun Valley Lake is a 500 acre private lake development in Southern Iowa. It is manmade with 17 miles of shoreline and protected watershed with many springs to fill the lake. Once known as "Southern Iowa's Best Kept Secret" as the secret got out, it has grown as the lake development turns 50 years old in 2022.
Growing up here, with so many fond memories, it's a big part of my heritage. I love being able to connect people to this lake life that I get to enjoy every day. The relationship this allows me to build, really feel more like family. Check me out on facebook, website, or call me if you need anything. "If you're selling, I'll get it sold" "If you're buying, I'll find your dream lake property."
