    WARNING, MASSIVE WATER SKI WAKES. Great floating finger docks $20. Add $10 for electric & water. Close to ball fields and kids splash pad. Great drive-in restaurant and ice cream next door. Electric City Water Show Ski Team at the restaurant. Really cool to see the 1-1/2 hr Monday night practice (for regular Tuesday performance). A 3-motor rowboat pulling a 10 skier pyramid is amazing, but repeated passing as close as 60 ft to the dock makes for dangerous heaving of boats and docks. We stayed with the boat to keep our gunnels from hooking under the dock. If we were elsewhere eating our evening meal our boat would have been damaged. The 35 ft trawler next to us managed OK.

    Nice overnight stop along the Erie. The docks are very well kept and newish. There is a park across the street and a funky diner with good ice cream just a block away.

    We are 53 LOA and fit nicely backed in. The first two slips have a 50/30 amp power pedestal.

    Dockage was $20 and power was $10.

    There is some wake from local boats but it was quiet and peaceful at night.
