The landing is named after Captain Daniel Dobbins, an early 19th-century sailing master in the U.S. Navy who supervised the construction of a squadron of warships used in the Battle of Lake Erie. During the summer months, the Presque Isle Water Taxi travels between Dobbins Land and Presque Isle State Park.
