Dockside Anchorages (70.5) is located in Greenwood, Louisiana, in the northwestern part of the state, near Caddo Lake—a large freshwater lake that borders Texas—rather than directly on the Gulf Coast, which lies several hundred miles to the south. This marina serves recreational boating and sailing on Caddo Lake's calm, inland waters, catering to activities such as freshwater cruising and fishing in the Piney Woods region of Louisiana. Its setting provides a sheltered environment for boaters exploring this scenic, non-coastal area.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
