    Stayed here 5/26/23. Nice area, easy walk to auto parts, Aldi, pizzeria, etc. Phone number is correct here for contacting dock master at 315-404-6532, however Kevin LaPorto is dock master.

    The marina is close to Aldi and Wallgreen for provisioning, but its also close to the highway and the train and yes it does blow its whistle. So not that quiet, but its not expensive and it does have services (water, 30/50 amp, pump-out, toillets and showers). Notthing fancy about the showers, but they work. Nice bicycle path just beside the marina alongside the canal.

    Too tired to explore the area but this was a nice stop. Very quiet with nice shower/heads, laundry, diesel and pump out. Super little fast food/icecream shop on campus. We would stay here again!

    Arrived late in a rain storm. Colby was dock hand and did everything you could ask. $1.00 foot and great burgers. I have stayed here a number of times. Water a little skinny, maybe 8-9' at the wall.

    Easy access to diesel and pump out, and the staff is very helpful in that regard. The snack shop on site has adequate food. The marina is also a trailer park, so you have people from their RVs/trailers that have the river view spaces watching you while you are there. Dock to and from the parking lot is a little shakey. While we were there, a dredge was actively working and will supposedly be complete by the end of the season. Watch your depth if you are coming in before the dredging is complete. (BTW, we did not receive any of the welcome material mentioned in the previous post. Perhaps they were out).

    What a delightful stop. Staff are organized and efficient. You receive a welcome booklet from the mayor and the townspeople greet you and take your picture. Docking is simple and the docks are at a good height. The shake shop on grounds has good shakes and basic food. The locals eat here. One of the best Aldis is around the corner. The park here has several picnic tables and pavilions. It’s very pleasant here in so many ways.

    Nice marina along the canal wall. Excellent access to shopping, groceries, hardware, and restaurants.
