    Here in mid-June. Not much in town, but the free wall is great with power and water. Very clean bathrooms.

    Great stop at a NY State park. Very reasonable rate and $5 for electric. Can use this to visit the CIA or some of the mansions and FDR's home.

    Stopped here for 2 nights in mid-June. Very nice folks. Got fuel, pump out and some time at the nice but small pool. Dinner was reasonable at the restaurant. They have a courtesy car you can use, which is great for a trip for food etc.

    Great stop although slim provisioning pickings. Full power, 50amp, water, all free. Public bathrooms very near by and clean.

    Big bay so be careful on a windy day. Nice and quiet...we were the only ones here in mid-June. But mayflies attacked us by the thousands, so beware. Holding is great in 16' of water.

    Just a beautiful 7 mile ride up the creek. Very narrow, but plenty deep. We never saw less than 8'. But the city marina is not good at all. Power cords are across the parking lot, and on our visit there was a bass tournament going on, so really no place for us. Do not go too far to the falls or you will hit something. We did as we turned around. Be cautious.

    Nice stop except for winds from the west. You are anchoring near the boat ramp, so there is traffic and not all go slow. Nice quiet stop with great holding and sandy bottom.

    Great stop except with the wind out of the south. Island is a state park so dinghy ashore and explore. Very good holding and you can get pretty close to shore before it gets shallow. Can be a popular stop. We had 13 boats on a week night in July, but no one too close.

    Mallets Bay is a great stop. Sean is helpful. No fuel, only pump out. Bathrooms are older but very clean. Convenient small grocery store and hardware store down the street. On the end dock, you can rock a bit during the day.
