Docking and approach
Approach is straightforward off the main channel into Smith Creek at river mile 571.5. Floating docks with limited transient space. Quiet basin most of the time; it's not the social-energy choice. Don't count on walk-up transient slips on peak weekends; call ahead. Strong wind protection from most directions inside the cove.
If you haven't been to this part of the lake before, the marinas overview explains the trade-offs (approach, docking, traffic, wait time, wind exposure) in plain language so you can match a marina to what you're actually trying to do.
