Marina at north end of Cross Lake

What is known as Cross Lake Marina or North Shore Marina is in bankruptcy. According to the Bankruptcy trustee no one is allowed to use the facilities. Of course without being in a lock-down situation there isn't anyone to stop people.

Sad to note that between Baldwinsville and Mud Lock (north end of Cross Lake) there is only one location to purchase gas, Cooper's Marina in Baldwinsville.

The other marina, known as Midway Marina was up for auction a while ago. The bank started the bidding beyond what anyone was willing to pay. So the bank still owns Midway.

Boating traffic in Reach 24 has decreased immensely without these two marinas.

We have heard (not confirmed) that when Cross Lake Marina (North Shore) gets out of bankruptcy, assuming it will go to the prior owners (before North Shore) they are hoping to sell all the property to a developer, which would make it into housing. This will be a
double-whammy to this canal reach.

We have spoken to both the bankruptcy trustee (Cross Lake Marina) and the bank (Midway marina).

Anyone out there know anything else? Like maybe a buyer for Midway?
