The waterfront is a nice activity, best in nice weather but still doable during precipitation. My wife and I walked here on a day with heavy mist. The river view is nice. We walked on the nearby R… Full review by Russell W

Beautiful area to enjoy the views of the water or have a picnic. Short walks to explore the park and see more amazing views. Full review by Shellyd771

Don't know if you're still looking for an answer to this, but... I've been commuting over the bridge by this park for many years, never saw a keelboat at the landing until a few weeks ago one appeared & has been hanging out there so I dropped by out of curiosity. There is a stretch of floating dock there that might be long enough for a 39' boat, and a number of floating-dock slips that are too small. There is however a very long stretch of boardwalk with fixed pilings, which is where the keelboat (35'?) was tied up (using fenderboards-- essential). There are several spots along the pilings with wooden ladders down and gates through the railing, so accessing shore would be easy. There's still a 5' tide at Gardiner so you'd want to be sure to allow for that. The chart shows 12' at low right up close to shore so there's more than enough for a deep keep. The sign at the boat ramp says daytime tie-up no problem, but to contact the "harbormaster" at police station for overnight. Town website says $15/night fee for overnight. Sign also makes reference to public showers, though I couldn't find them (there are bathrooms, though). Interestingly the boat there has Gardiner marked as her home port...
