East Dock & Private Marina
The East Dock, owned and operated by the Town of Gibraltar, has been there for years and forms the south wall
for the private marina. The private marina's east breakwall provides additional protection for the East Dock
from East winds. Access to the marina and East Dock is surrounded by areas that are less than 5 feet at LWD.
One popular approach uses the two red day markers as a range line. This range line intersects the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse and has a bearing of 296 degrees.
Some known information
- The so called "as dredged" information is not available, as the DNR does not require it.
- The DNR permit allows dredging up to 6 feet but does not require it.
- There is a steady red light at the southern tip of the breakwater
(normally harbors use flashing lights).- There are no buoys to mark the safe approach.
(Definitely needed when water below LWD)- Transient slips are planned on the south wall of the East Dock
- Que Vadis, a privately owned, steel, ~30 passenger ferry, docks at the East Dock
Miscellaneous info desirable:
Lat Lon coordinate for both ends of all the floating docks would be fun to have
Available Fuel types
Availability of Pump Outs
Number of Transient slips and exact location
Electric hook ups
Water
Wi-Fi
Cable
Depths and widths of preferred approach. (definitely less than 5 feet in many spots)
Harbor master's phone numbers, e-mail address and postal address. for both the marina and the East Dock.
For the Boating Guide to America, a post July 07', low altitude aerial photo that can be given to Maptech without any strings by the person who actually took the picture. Preferably with the Que Vadis at its normal docking spot and freight barges at their normal loading spots. (Click here for a shot that would have been good had it been taken by a DCS*PS member. The Quo Vadis takes folks back and forth to the East Dock from Fish Creek, it is said to have a four foot draft.
