Great dock and amazing service on the phone and at the dock. We arrived during a fish kill (natural) so the smell wasn't pleasant. Otherwise, 5 stars!

The Paducah Transient Dock is a welcome sight after traveling the Mississippi! Great floating dock with fuel and pump out. Paducah is a great city with lots of shopping and restaurants within walking distance.

The docks are beautiful? But there's no bathroom at all. the smell from the dead fish kill is overpowering a times. Deap water cheap fuel. Interesting town.

Dock was easy to dock at. Basic dock with power and water. No amenities, no help with docking , fuel but no attendants. Aprox 1 mile to dollar general. Stayed 2 nights, 1st was good , 2nd was so rocky I was worried we would be thrown onto the dock. Seriously it was the worst in 4 yrs of sailing we've ever had. Overall we would stay again as a quick night stay just be prepared.

Dock was full so we were able to chat with other boaters. Electric on pole 9 showed reverse polarity so had to move spots.

We enjoyed our single night on the dock. We had scheduled fuel for the morning, but we were held up as the credit card system was down. Paducah employees went over and above to get us fuel to continue our journey. Thanks to everyone that helped to make our stay a success!

The city docks and the town of Paducah has a lot to offer. The only problem was the river side of the dock can get a bit rocky with tugs passing by and winds from out of the NW. But the dock is good for the city.

Strong clean docks, short walk to restaurants.

Great spot. Would be better with more security. A few non boaters were on the docks at night.

Great place to stop so long as you are on the inside of the dock. Very helpful fuel handler, just had to wait for his arrival as the dock is not manned. Town is a 10 minute walk away, interesting with many restaurants and the Quilt museum. Would definitely stay again so long as I was on the inside!

Nice Stop. No gas or water but enjoyed a great burger and fries at the Over Under Pub

Great stay in a great town. Communication from the office was excellent.

They were working on electrical so no electric and had shut off the water. Should have discounted the stay otherwise was good đź‘Ť

We knew there wasn’t any power, water, fuel, etc., but the price should have been reduced for that. Trash cans were overflowing.
by Henry H. - Verified user on Nov 01, 2023
Well it seems to be unfair to charge full price when there is no power...!

The dock is on the river and everything that comes by leaves a wake but after three long days in the rain it was great to have a dock to tie to. The city people were great about making us welcome and finding space for us. The location is within easy walking distance to restaurants and shopping. It was a welcome stop.

Great location and nice docks.

The dark was in good shape, the area around it was nice. The only downside was the lack of power. But we knew that going in.

The Paducah transient dock is extremely sturdy. There are no restroom or showers. There is a quilt museum, Mariners museum and lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance of the dock

The docks are nice and wide, but had no power during our stay on October 26. Nice town in walking distance. Alot to do there. No restroom or showers, although there was a public restroom within a short walk but it was locked when I went to use it at 630 am.

the docks are pretty good. We were on the inside so no issues. I wouldn't want to be on the outside. There is no breakwall and depending on barge traffic some of the boats were rocking quite a bit in the night. While we were there, there was no power or fuel. It's a fairly pricey stop given that there are absolutely no services or security.
by James L. - Verified user on Oct 23, 2023
We had power but they turned it off for season at 8 am next morning. There’s no restrooms, Wi-Fi or showers so cost seems a bit high. Really nice floating docks, good for docktails. Outside dock is rocky all night from barges waking. Feels safe here. Came in late so no time to visit the village.

Probably the nicest Municipal Docks we’ve ever been to. Paducah has great pride in their waterfront and the Municipal Transient Docks reflect that.
About City of Paducah Transient Docks
*Please note: This is a transient dock. Packages cannot be delivered here. Our office is not located at the dock.
Call for fueling service. Boats arriving after 2pm will be serviced the next day. Limited hours of operation on Holidays.
The City of Paducah's new Transient Docks are a brand new installation on Paducah's riverfront.
The next generation is really why we're here today... The riverfront is the one common neighborhood for everyone in this area. The one neighborhood that everyone shares is the river, because after all, that is how Paducah got here.
The great old river is replete with history of the United States of America. I want to help the community enhance the river experience so that this common neighborhood that everyone has will be a place to go and enjoy yourself for years and years to come.
-- U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (August 28, 2006 on Paducah's Riverfront)
