Lake Naconiche Pavilion

A Lakeside Pavilion in East Texas

This project was a pavilion on Lake Naconiche, which at the time of the project, was a relatively new lake just north-east of Nagogdoches, Texas. This was a joint project between local government and the Army Corps of Engineers. Nacog-doches County was developing a lakeside park where the pavilion was built. At the time of the build there was also a beach area, boat dock, and fishing pier in place. The pavilion itself, about 32 x 48 ft., included three king post trusses that form the central portion of the structure. That steeply pitched section was fully surrounded by a lower pitched shed. This design not only fit the site and environment but has everything from the simplest square joinery to compound work that made it a lot of fun for individuals of all skill levels.
