Depth was good all the way to the A dock where we stayed. Docks were in pretty rough shape. Metal patches all over the aluminum docks. As other reviewers had stated, the docks were noisy. Expensive for what you get. Cash deposit on the key, which sucks because we had an early departure. Bathrooms were clean but in need of some minor repairs which doesn't make sense for the cost of the stay.
On the plus side, it was nice to have lots of places to eat and drink within walking distance!View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer

Very nice staff at this marina. Approach was straight forward. This seems like a popular place to visit and had a fair amount of boat traffic when we came through. Transient docks were along the north wall with showers at east end. The transient showers do not have anywhere to put your stuff. No bench's and no shelves. Decent grill in the store and we ate a great breakfast here.

The approach in the channel is a bit scary, but once past it everything else was great! Went to gas dock as directed and doc hands were very helpful (both at gas dock and at slip). Nice beach to sit at and chill out and even have a fire! It was an all around great experience for us.

Came in late, so not able to get any dock side assistance but they did send me a pic of the slip so I had a good idea of what to expect. Care package was waiting at slip for us which included fob for gate, which was a nice touch! I was afraid of the Marina being too shallow, but boays were where I expected to see them and it was plenty deep for my draft. Bathroom/shower was very far from boat. Bathrooms had holes in ceiling, exposed wiring and even though some of the other stuff was newer and in good condition, it still just kinda felt dirty and a little sketchy. Walk to the pier is beautiful and there were many points of the stay that were worth while.

Tight little marina that is convenient to Cedar Point amusement park. Decent laundry room. Showers with seats and places to put your stuff! I would have rated the Marina higher but there was a solid lack of info about check in and facility amenities. We were emailed a slip number, but no other info. We pulled into slip and ended up getting the run down from our neighbor. But still one of the better marinas that we stayed at in this trip.
