Our second stop a month later. Upstream wall is not dredged and is very shallow. Our draft is 3.5 feet. Pool dropped 6 inches overnight per lock report and we were aground by the morning. Larger boats should tie up on the downstream wall despite the inconvenient bollards.

We tied up on the downstream concrete wall. Large bollards about 50 feet apart, no cleats, making docking and tying up a challenge. Plenty of depth. No water or power. City park with good lighting and easy walk to shops and restaurants. Public restrooms in the park were closed. Some noise on Saturday evening from motorcycles and muscle cars that gathered in the park at dusk. Popular fishing spot with plenty of people around. Quiet night after the bikes left.
