Lake Life

Avid fishermen Nate and Justin Herman know a thing or two about having a "lake life."

Nate and Justin travel the country building one-of-a-kind waterfront creations in typically remote locations. This DIY series documents their handiwork -- like a double-decker dock with a water slide, a floating golf oasis, deluxe teepees, and a 10,000-pound volcano-themed fishing cabin -- while also going behind-the-scenes to provide glimpses of family adventures of the entire Herman clan.
