I didn’t like it, but that’s just my opinion.
The Bathrooms appear to be honest to God prison bathrooms, you know
stainless steel toilets with no seat etc.
Where you check in at will be your longest dinghy ride and it’s not an easy place to find either, and the people that
work there I think may never have seen the field. I was telling her I was in front of an aircraft hanger how do I get to where you are, her answer is there are no aircraft hangers, you must be somewhere else.
Anyway be prepared to show proof of Insurence and
registration of the
boat and dinghy, I’ve never had to show and fill out so much paperwork at any place before, not even Marina’s.
The people hanging around the showers and dinghy
dock were worrisome to me, and the
shower / dinghy dock is a long walk to town.
We ended up
buying a dinghy dock pass and
shower tickets I guess you would call them right in town, much nicer showers and in town.
I’ve not been in a couple of years so maybe things have changed, but I think I may give the mooring field a pass if I go back
I’ve never anchored out in KY, but was determined if we ever go back that we would.
I draw 5’ and was nervous but never touched, we met someone who said they drew 7’ and I have no idea how they got in, I assume plowed their way in at high tide.
I’m attaching a picture, the small lake looking area to the upper left is where you check in, and where
water is available, but of course your big
boat isn’t getting in there.
To get into the area of town you probably want to go to, you go under the bridge to Garrison bight and buy a dinghy pass to tie up, it’s also a better place to shower.
If you have a small slow dinghy the current under that bridge can get swift and the
water out by Garrison bight rough so be careful, if you have a
RIB with a bigger
motor you will have no problem and wonder what I’m talking about.
When I was there the
pump out boat never showed and when I called the office they said they didn’t think he would, and I swear their answer was they thought the
wind would be blowing that day.
