Shadows Marina

Not expensive but also not protected from passing boat wakes. Very rolly. Restaurant far below expectations.

Spent one night. The docks do work to dampen some of the waves, but larger boats passing will still rock you quite a bit. There were a lot of floating debris in the basin, both logs and vegetation. The restaurant is good, but pricey. Other options are in town, which is a 3/4 mile hike. This marina is mostly for day boaters going to the restaurant and a few locals. The shower and bathroom facilities are porta-toilets on a trailer in the parking lot. There isn't even a marina office, the dock master works out of his pick-up truck. Good for a night, or longer if you have relatives in Poughkeepsie. We stopped to do the "Walkway Over The Hudson" a 4.5 mile, two bridge loop on a converted Rails-to-Trails railroad bridge, and the Mid-Hudson Bridge. Spectacular views, and well worth the stop!

Nice restaurant. Nice Dockmaster too. Issues we had were due to the complete non existence of any wave protection. Not sure why there's no wall or even a floating attenuate, but when boats go by, there's a LOT of bouncing. Food at restaurant is really great though. Awesome marina if you're just stopping thru to grab dinner!
