Oct 16, 2010 installing new 330 ft dock |
Formed as a “working person's club” the approximately 80 Club members have done all their own work over the years, building the docks, the launching ramp, the Clubhouse, and to this day do all their own maintenance. In exchange for their labor, the members receive discounted moorage each year.
You do not need to be a member to use our facilites as the Club sells
annual packages to the general public for Wet Moorage, Dry Storage and Launching Pass’s to almost 300 boating families each year. The club doesnot provide day launching as you must have purchased one of our annual packages. The moorage packages are very popular and there are usually waiting lists.

The Club also sells Premium 91 Octane Gasoline, oil, ice, pop and other snacks for both the members and the boaters who come in off the river to use our gasoline services. The Boat Club is very concerned about the environment and protecting the beauty of the surrounding areas and has participated in such events as Rivers Day and garbage clean ups of the surrounding upstream.
