Meet the Manager

Lindsay R.

Manager

Susan and Ruth purchased Rowing Dock in 2010 from a rower who was using it as a rowing facility. Susan and Ruth both were looking to do something local. They wanted to ditch the business suits and do something they were passionate about. They saw that this opportunity was just too great to pass up, so they launched Rowing Dock.

Lindsay, the Manager and the team at Rowing Dock are in the business of having fun and they hope that whenever you are in the mood for some water sport adventures, you will make Rowing Dock your go-​to spot!
