Very clean, empty, and accommodating Marina and staff. The bikes and kayaks for the boaters use was a big plus. The gas station (about 1/4 away) had lots of food options, including a good restaurant serving breakfast and lunch. The Halfway Bar and Grill was a little closer, but closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Big down side…You can hear the highway traffic day and night.

Nice marina and facilities. It is only manned part time so you are on your own for docking. There is nothing close by so plan on eating on your boat.

A hidden gem. Awesome staff, clean facility. Restaurant was a short dinghy ride away and it was fun to explore the river. 9 feet of water below the keel in the entrance. Current bouy locations do not match charts due to higher lake levels.
