The bridge can't open right now but if you can pass under it closed, the waterway is passable.

Small town dock with a T-head for one large 40-60' vessel. Smaller boats can use a slip. Inexpensive fuel and pump out. Very well stocked small grocery store adjacent to marina. Decent 18 hole golf course about 1.2 miles away. Great swimming beach st marina in constant use by friendly locals. Very nice staff at the dock. Toilets, showers, and coin laundry for boaters. Renamed as "River Road Marina".

This Marina is open for transients. Most of the docs are brand-new with good electrical 30/50 amp, and water (150 ppm TDS). No WiFi, but bathrooms and laundry are clean. No restaurant, but marina is adjacent to a roller coaster park that has fireworks every Saturday night. Location is very convenient to St Lambert lock in Montreal. Fuel and pump out available. Very helpful owner and staff.

Captain Keith has professional seamanship skills and enough wry humor to keep you from feeling inadequate. Modern floating docks with adjustable cleats and plenty of smooth dock side for fenders to protect you from occasional wakes. Full 120 Volt power at pedestals along with high pressure 135 ppm fresh water, but no fuel or pump out. Easy access to Hyde Park by public or hired transport. We rode through a small storm with 30 mph winds and rough water with no problems.
