This is a multi-purpose facility. It functions as visitor moorage, boat rental facility and a landing for a water taxi that will tie this project to the Wycoff property across the mouth of the harbor. It also provides dinghy tie-ups for the locals who want to row across to catch a ferry, from Eagledale or anchored-out boats. This will take some pressure off the perceived need to expand the Waterfront Park dock and facilities.

Worth thinking about is the fact that, in a survey done when the Waterfront Park boat launch and dock were built, a large number of the respondents wanted the park to be left underdeveloped, an "open space", perhaps the last one on our waterfront. With the trail system in place and appropriate landscaping, the Boat Yard dock will tie into the Water Front Park as if it were an extention of the current facility, and eliminate the need to further develop the park itself.
