We have 6 foot draft and contacted a log? Right at the turn towards the wall. Soft hit. Everything else was great, nice solid wall to tie to. Easy fuel docks. Very friendly, and a short walk to a great restaurant.

Great marina and excellent staff! We are a power cat, 44' long, 22' wide and no issues. We were on the north wall, nice facilities. Long walk to the marina office but need our steps anyway. Would stay there again.

Concur with previous review. We were having fuel issues when we arrived and General Manager Jim W was awesome...he made calls to people he thought could help us, he and his staff delivered packages to us, took us to town to get supplies and parts. Helped us at the fuel dock and also to get tied up on the transient dock. What a great group! All the facilities were neat and clean. The transient dock was a walk to the office but the restrooms and showers were nearby. Water depth was 7-8 feet in marina. Numerous shops, arcades and places to eat were about 1 mile from marina. Marina also rented bikes. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend! Oh and the local fishermen were bringing in large quantities of walleyes.

We docked on the north wall. It is a far walk to the office but Marina staff will pick you up and drop you off in their golf cart so not a problem. Great mid point stop over when traveling from Cleveland to Erie, PA. Great restaurant within walking distance on the lake front. Also can bike into town with many restaurants and bars to choose from. Facilities here are ok with separate bathrooms for the north dock. Many fishing charter boats dock here. Good stay.

Very nice staff at this marina. Approach was straight forward. This seems like a popular place to visit and had a fair amount of boat traffic when we came through. Transient docks were along the north wall with showers at east end. The transient showers do not have anywhere to put your stuff. No bench's and no shelves. Decent grill in the store and we ate a great breakfast here.

Very nice marina with a great crew of staff! Fueling and pump out were easy. The transient dock is across the way from the marina office and is a busy place. Many boats just come for the day and walk into the cute town of Geneva on the Lake. Bathrooms and showers could have some improvements made.

They are very responsive to VHF radio hails. I was also delighted when the guy in the golf cart was racing to the dock to provide assistance. He also raced to the office with my credit card with payment as it is a bit of a walk. Transients are lined up on a long wall to the left as you enter the Marina. The showers are just adequate. They do rent bikes, have $5 pump out and sell gas. The state park lodge with a restaurant is close by, bar is nice. The down town or what that call the strip is a long walk on a hot day. It's a sort of throw back to the 1950's but worth a gander. Eddie's Grill is a quaint must stop. The primary reason for only 3 stars was the laundry was broken and it was a primary reason for a second night stop.

The marina is part of a larger state park complex which may be interesting to explore. On entering the channel proceed left to the center of the marina and its fuel dock. On July 26 I paid $3.89/gallon diesel. At the head of the fuel dock is a Marina Store with food, gifts and small galley. Restroom and shower for transients is clean. Fairway water depth is 9.5 feet. Thirty minutes 30 min walk from the marina is the town, I believe bikes for rent are available at the Marina Store.

As others have said, transients are generally placed on a face dock a long way from the office, but there are restrooms at the end of the dock. Nothing fancy, but workable. Its a state park. Staff and docks are first class.

Many walking/biking trails within the park and just over a mile walk into the tourist district. If you have a dog, a stop a "Ruff House on the Lake" for VERY pet friendly dining is a must.

Great stop between Erie and Cleveland. Outstanding staff who work very hard. Bob the dock master is a great guy who truly cares about his customers. Easy in and out from the transient dock that is located along the long face dock. It's a longish walk to the office but the staff will come and get you in a golf cart if you need. BTW Geneva On The Lake is a great boardwalk location with food and drink. Check out the Italian Restaurant Piero's. Food and service are outstanding!

Good facility. Staff first rate. Transients are on long face dock with bit of walk to office. Small grill available and store. Clean. No security for face docks. Diesel supply extremely slow pump. Busy place though. Would stay again.

Great place to pull into. Both gas & diesel and a very helpful and friendly crew. They catch lines and give directions to what services are near by.
