Since the 1930s, visitation to the park has greatly increased and the docks have gone through many changes. The first Visitor Center Dock was built in 1935 and was a simple wooden structure. It was replaced in 1978-1979 by an aluminum floating dock that moved with the tides. That dock was later replaced in 2001 with a concrete floating dock which is in use today. This dock has since been modified to work with the two current boats which began their ferry service in October 2011.
