Modular Docks for the River


A Connect-A-Dock modular floating dock system is just what you need on the river. Both the 1000 Series and 2000 Series dock systems work well on rivers with low wake. With a lower profile, the 1000 Series system is great for swimming, fishing, paddle sports, and other activities that require being closer to the water. The 2000 Series dock has a higher profile and is more equipped for mooring boats.

The Best Environment for Floating Docks

Modular plastic docks are designed to automatically handle fluctuating water levels, rising and lowering with the current. Floating docks should be used in calm channels parallel to the riverbank to avoid strong currents or wake. This layout not only enhances stability but also minimizes the risk of damage.

Anchoring is key when setting up on a river, so it’s important to consult a recommended installer from our dealer search. They’ll ensure the anchoring style suits your river’s unique conditions, giving you peace of mind.  

  • Low profile & high profile dock options accommodate a range of waterfront activities.
  • Plastic docks rise & lower with changing water levels.
  • Several accessories available to safely anchor Connect-A-Dock to your riverfront. 
  • Rotomolded constructions creates a safe, stable, and durable platform.

Docking Jet Skis and Wave Runners on the River


If you’re cruising the river on a jet ski or wave runner, you know the value of a secure, convenient parking spot. That’s where Connect-A-Port comes in. These floating personal watercraft (PWC) ports work seamlessly with Connect-A-Dock systems or other fixed and floating dock structures, providing an easy drive-on, pull-off experience with smooth, adjustable urethane rollers.

Anchoring Your PWC Port on the River

Proper anchoring is especially important for ports on a river. Once secured, the port keeps your personal watercraft high and dry, reducing wear and tear from waves or currents.

  • Secure PWC parking with Connect-A-Port XL5 & XL6.
  • Smooth adjustable rollers allow an easy glide on & off the water.
  • Attach multiple units with the side-by-side kit.
  • Multiple colors to match any fixed, floating, or Connect-A-Dock.
