First rate wall from a town that caters to boaters. Several good restaurants within walking distance. Wal Mart within biking distance. Nice music on the dock in the summers. Only recommendation would be to install a quarter machine in the laundry room. Super friendly community. Agree with the other comments.

Great stop. 10 ft of water on well maintained wall with rings and cleats.
Welcome Center volunteers were knowledgeable and very friendly. Free bikes, shops close by, good showers, laundry and 30 amp on pedestals; all for $20. We were the only boat.

Loved it here! Brockport works hard to welcome visitors by boat and bicycle. Beautiful wall between bridges (lift bridge 182 is temporarily removed for refurbishment), 11 pedestals with water and 30A & 15A electric. Flat rate of $20 per night. Welcome Center staffed by friendly volunteers, with two bathrooms, showers, laundry, wifi and loaner bikes. Very nice town, with plenty of shops and restaurants. Recommend Coleen's Kitchen for breakfast.

Clean wall in great shape. Tons of businesses in this cute little town. There are loaner bikes available. The new nightly fee is $20 regardless of boat size. Fee includes water and power if you need it. Although we didn't need either, access to the restrooms, shower, laundry and nearby restaurants and hardware stores (harbor freight and Lowe's) is $$ well spent.

Nice town with restaurants and Dollar General within easy walking distance. Super fast wifi near the welcome center. If you can moor away from the bridge you will be happier. Bridge slated for replacement winter 2022/2023 and the new one is supposed to be quieter. 30 A power and water on pedestals.

Very friendly people, we were welcomed to Brockport by a couple walking by. 3 people came to catch our lines. Jon was one, a volunteer dock master who just got off duty, he walked me to the dock office where Sue checked me in. Both super friendly. Dock is free and includes showers and a laundry facility ($2 / load). Electricity is $15. The showers and restrooms were reasonably clean and modern.

Brockport is a small college town, it has a bit of a funky vibe which we enjoyed. Had a great breakfast at Coleen's Kitchen.

Only minor complaint was that at our location (east end of the wall, near Custom House Bar & Grill) delivery truck noise was a little loud. But hey, it was a free dock.

Very smooth wall to tie up to, in between the 2 bridges. Very little wake during the day time, and none after the bridge tender goes home. Power is easy to get to and "clean"; no reverse polarity issues. Shower and restroom facilities are very clean. There are 2 of them, and it is one size fits all. The one on the upper level is open during the hours the visitor center is open. The one pier side is available 24/7 and can only be accessed via a swiper card that you are issued when you check in. There is also a washer and dryer, reasonably priced, pier side, again, accessed with the swiper card. Several good restaurants within walking distance. Visitor center staff and the bridge tenders will go out of their way to make your stay pleasant. The only negative is that the pumpout is on the north side, literally just after the second bridge if you are traveling westbound. It is a short pier and can be a challenge to tie up to. The bridge tender came down and took lines for us, which helped.

Nice community. Marina has twin 30amp plugs per post and water. Good restroom/shower facilities. Free loaner bikes. Nice community with several restaurants nearby. Bridge can be a bit noisy.
