We took our rented boat to the Bridgewater Marina. Plan on at least half a day here because there's so much to do. They have courtesy slips for parking, fuel, several entertainment options for kids, food, live bands, and gift shops. There are tons of carp at the dock that the kids can feed popcorn and french fries. There's a shop called, "Gifts Ahoy" that has amazing fudge. "Moosie's" is a bar / restaurant that has a large selection of menu items including custom sandwiches with fine ingredients.
Everyone we met was pleasant and welcoming.
