    This dock is very affordable and close to town. A bike path runs directly in front of it providing access to over twenty miles of bike trails and numerous museums. As others have stated it has a lot of boat traffic on the weekends and a no wake zone is neither posted or observed. The restroom has a single men and single female with locking limited access. The showers were functional and reasonably clean. Sometimes supplies for toilet paper were lacking. There is a laundry mat about 1.5 miles away. People were very friendly in the area and with two great restaurants as neighbors. This is a floating dock and several fingers that had been damaged by high water earlier in the season. They have a gas pump but I don't think it is public access and there is no diesel available. We stayed two weeks due to close proximity to town and the airport. Great experience but it has the potential to be so much more. The collegiate and local rowing teams train and hold events here for which we had a dockside seat. Overall I would recommend but just know it has limitations!
