    Harbor Lights was easy to find and easy to dock in. There was plenty of water under my deep keel, and that's not a universal trait in marinas north of Demopolis. The facility was tidy, well-maintained, and the staff friendly. The breakwater between the river and the slips has seen better days, but it's substantial and provides ample protection from wakes. However, several on-line resources are out-of-date. They no longer offer diesel, and have not done so for a year. The staff at the fuel dock was unaware that they offer space for transients. There was no one to answer the phone at the main office when the manager was at lunch. There is a bathroom which was clean and smelled fresh. Fuel prices and docking prices were competitive. The restaurant was open and served good food. I will be perfectly willing to stop there again should I have the need.

    New docks located out in the river. Wave action as should be expected however excellent river view and breezes. The new never before used receptacles would not allow our plug to be fully inserted no matter how hard I pushed. The lady in the office assured us that the problem was on our end although no one ever actually came out to see. Good restaurant with a friendly staff located next door.
