There are two web cams at Waterford that show the city dock. Nice way to see how crowded the dock is.

We stayed on the east end of the floating dock.
There were boats arriving and departing each day we were there, and there was never a space issue, especially on the west end if you can use 30amp power or don't need power at all. What a great little town! We ate a Don and Paul's twice, the cafe once and got a pizza at the pizza place in the same area as the above two restaurants. We also got groceries at the place on the north side of Broad street on the east side of the Hudson. They will indeed unlock your cart and let you push it down the sidewalk back to the city dock. Not a bad walk.
We also walked up the road/trails all the way to the second guard gate, stopping at each of the five locks in the flight. It is really neat how they let you right up to the locks while they are in use! Really fun to talk with them and learn more about how they work and ask questions.
In the picture you can see the next lock in front of us as we sitin the chamber of the previous.
Tonight we are staying on the wall just past the second guard gate tonight and plan to go on to Amsterdam tomorrow. The weather here was a bit rainy this morning and the forecast was correct and there was no other traffic today but i suspect there might be the rest of the weekend.
We only stayed one day at the Norrie state park dock, watch out of all the poison ivy, it was prevalent!
We have several other photos to add to this entry, but I was having trouble getting them from my phone to the iPad, so they will show up in a subsequent post.
