Marina has only 3’ in the basin. If you draw more, there is wharfage along the waterway, but it’s pretty rough. No real amenities besides the store. Folks running the place are friendly and helpful.

Arrived here a week before Christmas to stay for one night ($25). Was so pleased we stayed thru the New year on a very reasonable rate. The folks that own and operate this place made this one of our best experiences in many years. The store is like a scaled down Ace Harware or Home Depot. They have a bit of everything. Hardware, marine supplies, fishing supplies and much more. Again at very fair prices. Fuel was also reasonable. The store has basic groceries.
Only disadvantage is that the nearest major grocery store is about 5 miles away. But these folks arranged transportation for us.
Major shopping is about 20 plus miles. They offer engine repair and also have a variety of rental cabins. Some on pontoons.
I highly recommend this stop.
