    We didn't stop, but looks like a nice free dock (no power or electric) next to small park with restrooms available. Close walk to gas station with small store.

    Very nice dock with power and water. Shallow on first 25' of dock on north side closet to shore (easy to see through clear water). Excellent stop as described by others here. Would stop again. First come first serve (can anchor in bay also).

    Large, busy state park marina with solid docks and an easy dinghy ride from Alexandria Bay. Fantastic hikes in the park. Bathrooms and showers were fine. Would stay here. Best to book through Reserve America.

    Nice looking place, but no transients. There is a dock available to use while dining at the restaurant.

    Beautiful marina with fuel and pump out, but no transient docking. There is a small ships store and we were able to find a switch we needed (last one!). Rated 3 only because we couldn't stay, but I'm sure it would otherwise be a 5.

    Good anchorage with solid holding in 7+ feet of water. Plenty of dock space. Sinks and flush toilets in bathroom and you can drop off garbage. Generators are allowed. Lots of long walks, but can be a bit buggy. Not as "cute" a spot as many in the islands, but totally fine.

    A hidden gem! Very nice lounge and clean nice bathhouse/showers. Located in a neighborhood setting with a lengthy walk to town. We enjoyed our stay and would visit again.

    Very nice and comfortable smaller marina with nice on shore facilities including bbq's, comfortable screened porch and surroundings and clean bathhouse. Nothing outside of grounds and walks are on lightly traveled country road. Would stay again.

    Very nice spot close to town with power and water. Slips limited to 40' but there's some wiggle room if you ask I think. Single shower/bathroom (good hotel quality and cleanliness) to serve dock, but toilets available in hotel also. Would absolutely stay here again.

    Super protected harbor. The marina has been taken over by the City. New, very nice dock (doesn't show on satellite image) with plenty of space. There is gas and diesel, but no power or water, but latter both are expected to be added soon. Would be a "5" with power and water. Two combo bath/shower rooms. Not fancy, but clean and open to public during marina hours. Cleaned each evening before office closes and overnight guests given a key.

    Short uphill walk to nice town with lots of restaurants and tourist shopping. Would stay here again without hesitation.

    Comfortable marina with good docks close to nice beach and walks. Local main street with restaurants and bars an easy walk too. Bathrooms/showers were clean and functional. Large grocery and hardware an easy bike ride away (not a walk). Would stay here again.

    OK, the docks are older and wobbly with metal corners, but the marina is staffed with super friendly and helpful people, has a great ship store, nice clean bathrooms and good walks. Easy access to Enterprise rent a car for further forays inland. I'd stay here again and again.

    Very nice spot with great walks, bike riding and beach access. Bathrooms and showers are clean. Easy city access. Only thing keeping this spot from a 5 is the cormorants. Brutal! Choose your spot wisely, but your boat will be pooped on regardless. Despite that, would stay again.
