    We stopped in Alpena to wait out some ugly weather for a few days and what a pleasant stay we had. Shannon, the Dock master was wonderful, very friendly and helpful. She also has an excellent staff of young men and women working there, always eager to help and just say hello. I can just echo what the other reviewers have said about the location and facilities. The town is close by with several shops and restaurants within walking distance. We were even able to get our dog groomed without an appointment at a groomer a couple blocks away. We would highly recommend a stop here if your itinerary allows.

    Just an update of the previous reviews. There is a wall between 2 floating docks. We used one of the floating docks and there was another 40 ft. boat on the other with a sailboat tied to the wall. There are two electrical pedestals, one at the top of each ramp to the floating docks. Each pedestal had two 30 amp outlets and two 50 amp outlets on each pedestal so there is power for 4 boats. There is a pump out station that appears to be in good working order but we did not need it. The dock is in a nice small park, very well maintained and clean. The town is just across the bridge but there was not much open. We grabbed a pizza to go at Papa's and it was very good.
