New Gravenhurst-manufactured dock accessory promises to transform waterfront living

Following a successful debut at the 2025 Fall Cottage Life Show, The Dock Ledge Inc. is officially bringing its flagship product to waterfronts across North America—with a strong local connection.

Designed by Etobicoke, Ontario inventor Joe Jarvis, The Dock Ledge is an innovative in-water platform that attaches easily to your existing wooden dock, creating a new space to relax, play, or launch your next adventure. After all, as the company’s motto reminds us: Life is better at the dock.

Acting as a seamless in-water extension, the platform creates a stable, comfortable space for users to stand, relax, or play without having to leave the water entirely. The accessory was designed to solve common waterfront frustrations, such as docks that are too high for easy paddleboard access, mucky or rocky lake bottoms, and water depths that make standing impossible.

“We believe every moment spent at the dock should be effortless and enjoyable, not a choice between a mucky bottom or constantly treading water,” says Jarvis. “We developed this to give people a stable, adjustable space. Whether you’re setting up a swim-up bar for friends or giving kids a safer, lower platform to launch water sports, it’s a game-changer for dockside living.”

For many Muskoka residents, the appeal goes beyond utility: the product is proudly designed and based in Etobicoke, with production supporting local facilities right here in Gravenhurst.

Designed for durability and convenience, The Dock Ledge makes it easy to RELAX – LAUNCH – PLAY with features that include:

  • Rapid Installation: After initial assembly, the unit installs in approximately 10 minutes using only basic tools such as a screwdriver, wrench, and measuring tape.
  • Adaptive Design: The height is fully adjustable to accommodate varying dock heights and fluctuating lake water levels.
  • Non-Slip Platform: The underwater platform, if maintained properly, provides a non-slip surface to stand or sit on.
  • Convenient Storage: The unit is designed to fold up easily for simple off-season storage, protecting it from winter ice and harsh weather.

As cottagers gear up for the upcoming warm-weather season, The Dock Ledge is now available to order ahead of the 2026 summer rush.
