The visitor center here in Little Falls is quite nice. The park and facilities are comfortable and clean, and have everything a boater could want, with the exception of fuel or pumpout. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful to boot. Built in the 90's by the rotary club with some help from the state, it is having a very slow summer so far. This matches what we've seen, in that there are very few cruisers up this way this year.
The harbormaster offered to drive us the half mile into town, where we picked up a few things, had lunch, and walked back to the harbor dock.
There is also an arts and antique center to visit, housed in some old factory buildings, between the train tracks and the river
We were looking at our photos from Italy this weekend and marveling at the romance of decaying cities. Somehow these American cities that are similarly downtrodden just make me sad. Perhaps they need another century to garner historical intrigue and tourism.
