The restaurant dock has a sign indicating for RESTAURANT and it is adjacent to the small swimming beach in the aerial view. The long right side of the dock and across the front are the 3 spaces reserved for the restaurant. The shorter finger docks on the left side are for leasees staying at Sandy Point for the season. Perhaps they let you dock there before the leasees put their boats in for the season. I know last week there were 3 boats (including ours) that were still not in and 2 of those docks were used for the restaurant. Now those boats are in for the season. Last weekend there was a wait for dock space for the restaurant. In past years, the restaurant would advise people to drop off their passengers and then dock down at the public dock. The restaurant provided a shuttle to the public docks. Don't know if Nolan's is doing the same. If business picks up, they really need to have a dock valet again.
As far as the 3 spaces for the restaurant, the water is more than 6 feet deep off the end of the dock and there are no rocks, just a nice sandy bottom. The inside dock on the long side is okay right now, but gets a little shorter as the lake level goes down. But, the bottom is just soft sand, no rocks.
