Great place to spend the night super quiet. They have gas and diesel, pump out, showers, and laundry. We draft at 6 foot and there's plenty of room in here.

Easy stop with good approach. We had a bit of a snafu with our reservation but they worked hard to make sure everyone had a spot on the wall. Really pretty area with a small town. Few restaurants close by and a good market / pharmacy. Good laundry facilities and reasonable restrooms / showers. As others have noted, sits on a pretty high wall so getting on / off the boat requires some effort and care. Very quiet.

Overall good stay and as many reviews have said high wall with rings.
We arrived later in the day and appreciated the staff working with boaters already there to shift to accommodate us without a raft up for the evening. Having the portable pump out of come to our boat was a bonus.
We walked to the local ice cream which was great.

Very nice stop, with great service. High wall, with rings; we needed the one ladder available. Gas, diesel, bathrooms, showers, laundry, water, 30A/50A and WiFi. Town is small, but close, and we enjoyed exploring. Bridge St. Diner was good, and the only place open. Trains pass close, but did not blow whistles, so it was much quieter than other places along the canal.

We were lucky that we got the single spot on the tall wall that had a ladder. Even so, it was a little difficult to get on&off the boat holding our little dog that needed frequent walking.
There was nothing open in town to walk to for the day/overnight we were there.

Easy stop after a long day of locks. The Harbor Queen Tina is amazing. She is there to assist with tie up, fuel, etc,etc. We had a hose burst from the water pressure. She found the hose in town went and picked it up , all before we could get the boat washed down. Then she came back after dinner with her kids, and drove us to the local ice cream store……what great service!

Easy stop right on the Erie canal with a dock master who actually answers her phone. Good power at 50 and 30 A and a very easy arrival and departure with a side tie. No current, laundry, restrooms, and several reasonable restaurants within walking distance. Diesel and gasoline available as well. Nice easy stay when transferring the Erie canal. What more could you ask for?

Stopped here on our 4th day on The Loop. Tina, the HaborQueen was very welcoming. She gave us codes for showers/restrooms/ laundry. They charge $1 a foot, no charge for electric. We were very happy with our stay. Going to sound crazy but their drinking water is the best, ranked 3rd in the country(or state) Fill your tanks people.

We stopped here for fuel on our way through on a Monday. Friendly service. Nice setting with grass. Campground adjacent. Parking against a tall wall was a bit of a challenge for going from office to our boat. Facility is set away from the main channel.

When you think about the Erie Canal experience this is a type of marina you envision. It is basically a wall for a half dozen boats. The high wall will certainly make this a challenging stop for boats with low entry points. That said, everything else is a positive. It starts with a friendly helpful harbor master. They have all services and a portable pump out service. It is a short walk to a small town with limited retail and a couple of places to eat. There is a huge grassy area right off the dock that is perfect for cookouts, impromptu meetups, a lazy day watching the canal traffic, and dogs. This is a seizable complex with an R V park with quality shared services that are spotless and lots of areas to explore.

Please be advised that the floating docks at this marina were lost in a flood. There is a single concrete wall appx 6’ above waterline. 7’ depth to center of wall (looked shallower at eastern end). Only one easily accessible ladder, so tie up there or having high gunwale will be a necessity. Restrooms are marginal - randomly out of TP or soap or paper towels. That said - pretty location, and new (one week ago) harbormaster is quite nice. There is a pizza place that (generally) delivers to the marina, but could not last night. A mile or so walk to a small town with limited services.

Nice small marina with room for about 4 40-50 foot boats on a fixed wall. Short walk to a small downtown with a couple of nice restaurants that deliver. Some grassy areas to walk the dog. Very quiet area that makes a nice stop.

Small marina in a small town. However they have all the services needed: 30 and 50 Amp electric, water, fuel, pump out, showers, laundry, picnic tables, etc. Price is inexpensive. Very cute setting right on the Mohawk River. There is a RV campgrounds on site. You can walk to the small downtown from the marina.

There are trains that run by the marina although no intersections so no horn blowing. Trains don’t bother us, we get used to them.

The part of the marina that impressed us is that for such a small and simple marina in such a small town the shower and laundry facilities were plenty, large, with toiletries supplied and CLEAN, impressively very clean. That’s taking pride in what you do! Thanks Grace, the marina keeper.

Worked well as a place to spend the night. Water, 30 & 50 amp electric. Gas & Diesel. Unlike the guide says: the pump out was not free even though we did fill up with diesel. Wall is becoming quite deteriorated and needs some attention. Being careful of where to place fenders helped as there are some pretty rough surfaces on the wall. Nice showers, close to amenities, friendly staff.
