This is a shared dock which moors our pontoon boat and sometimes 1 or 2 other boats. We try to be quiet at later hours when using the pontoon or other boats, but you may hear us. Like a small marina there is some activity. The area is also shared by ducks, geese, herons, bald eagles, woodchucks, beavers and jumping fish. The backyard behind our house is used by other occasional guests and our dog Poe who likes to swim. Other things to note Use the charcoal grill on the shared dock or shore only.
