Most people enjoy the spacious, rustic grounds of the Hiddencove Marina. We have about 3/4s of a mile of shoreline with winding, treelined pathways that are ideal for walking. However, for the more enthusiastic fitness fans, we have this air-conditioned fitness center with treadmills, stationary bikes, and limited weights. Hiddencove Marina of the Seneca Yacht Club sells gasoline. The fuel dock is located in a protected harbor, so the wake from passing boats won't damage your boat while fueling. Our members receive a $.05 per gallon discount when they pay for fuel with cash
   
Hiddencove Marina of the Seneca Yacht Club provides two covered, open-air gazebos for its members enjoyment. Because it's too dangerous to grill onboard your fuel ladden boat when inside the harbor, please enjoy these spots for grilling, bonfires, and relaxing onshore. Please note, this picture was taken in the winter. In the summer, the tables are not stacked and the trees add shade. The grills pretty much stay there all year, though
