Long Reach
- Location: Rideau Canal
- Lat / Lon: N 45° 04.135' / W 075° 38.686'
- Depth: 10 +
- Description:
From the north favor the deeper contours to the west after passing N152. Anchor in 15' of water NW of N154. From the south follow the deeper contours to the west after passing N156. We saw 7' of water when leaving this direction. Some wakes from boats on the channel, but a reasonable distance away, and overall quiet.
DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.

Good holding (we were rafted with a 52' boat). Some weeds (it's the Rideau), so you'll need to let the anchor settle and set it well.
