Nice tidy marina with a great group of seasonal boaters. Helpful staff. Protected from wind might get a little wake from ICW depending on location in marina. Can walk to Marineland and over to Atlantic beach. Otherwise not much around but lots of places to explore with dinghy or kayak and walking trails.

New docks were installed just before Christmas. They are floating. 50 amp power. The reminder will be updated in the next construction period. The marina is a busy place as it is the centre of Manatee viewing tour operators and a busy boat launch. One shower for boaters. No laundry.

Staff are helpful and ready to assist when you are coming in during hours. The marina also provides tide tables which are very important to negotiate you way in and out. Note tide co-efficeint and wind direction as north and east winds reduce the water level even more.

Crystal River itself is a fun stop with some interesting shops and restaurants. The Waterway Guide says manatee tours are a nominal fee - currently are $95 + pp. We took our dinghy around to the springs to drift and had good luck seeing a few.

Fairly long way to shore and grass for dogs. The older dock sections are challenging for smaller dogs as their paws slip between the boards.

Anchored here August 2022, low water so the chute behind the island was too shallow. We had more luck with the southern anchorage. Current kept us parallel to shore, even with a light wind and against tow wakes. Downstream tows have no wake. The wake from upstream tows can rock you as they push around the bend. Sand bottom - held very well. At low water there was a nice beach to land dogs.

The entrance into Round Lake and the municipal marina is through a long breakwater and canal with a bascule bridge that lifts on the half hour between 6 am and 10 pm. Outside of those hours is lifts on demand. The bridge is the main street in the village and is quite heavily travelled so boats are encouraged to be ready and waiting when the light turns green. 

The marina is beautiful. Very clean gang washrooms with showers, laundry and boaters lounge. Dog walking in the beautiful park adjacent to the docks, The park also has tables, benches, outdoor amphitheatre, splash pad and fish ponds and a farmers market on the weekend.

Groceries about 1/2 mile walk, lots of things to see and a range of restaurants. As others have mentioned, fuel and pump-outs are available about 100 yards away, slightly south of city docks.

Winds tends to swirl around in Round Lake so boats will move around.

The marina runs along the river shore with a board walk along side that is part of a hospitality zone. Great place for a morning or evening walk or jog. Also easy and interesting dog walking.

You can buy a drink at one of the  bars or restaurants on the main street and wonder around. No grocery store within 3 miles, but the downtown, a block away, has a number of shops and restaurants - even a barber.

Normally a harbor of refuge, Hartshorn lost its transient dock space in the last year and has yet to replace them. However, the harbour master will accommodate transients if a seasonal slip is empty. The slips are drive up - with pilings and cleats. There is room in the harbor to anchor in the centre but check with harbor master first. It is gated. Don't be put off by the abandon building across the street. It is being renovated and the side facing away from the marina are loft condos.

Marina staff are friendly and helpful. I would give a much higher rating it there were other amenities nearby or a loaner car.

Gang washrooms and individual showers are clean. Grounds are nicely kept. Grass for dog walking and sitting in the shade are across the drive. Tables and garbage are next to the slips or on the grass. Not much around but we can recommend Fatty Lumpkins Sandwich Shack which is a 5 minute walk for lunch - it closes mid-afternoon.

Looks like it would be well protected except for NW winds.

Adjacent to busy train lines with multiple level crossings so the horns blow day and night. If you have a dog sensitive to noise, they will not like it here. Also, getting the dogs to grass is a real hike. Noticeable door of sulphur in the area. Washrooms and laundry are located on the dock though. Very reasonable price for slip and laundry.

Showers that are spotlessly clean: big enough to swing a cat in, glass wall so you don't get the spins as badly, and water temp controls mounted out of the range of the shower head so you don't get soaked turning them on. Very knowledge dock hands who are trained by some of the resident boaters. It is also a handy spot to leave your boat to travel to Toronto or Montreal by train as the train station is only a few miles away.
